    Abstract: Improved group communications methods which are well suited for a wireless environment are described. End nodes request that access nodes make changes in group membership information maintained at the access node. The access node responds to the requests by a response signal indicating a grant or denial of the request. Requests may be to add or remove the end node, e.g., a mobile wireless terminal, from a particular group membership list identified in the request signal. The access node maintains a detailed list of group members and uses the information to control how signals, e.g., packets, are transmitted to the group members. Group membership information may be updated at the access node at the time of handoff and/or an end node enters the cell or otherwise changes its point of network attachment.

    Abstract translation: 描述了非常适合于无线环境的改进的组通信方法。 端节点请求接入节点对接入节点维护的组成员信息进行更改。 接入节点通过指示请求的授权或拒绝的响应信号来响应请求。 请求可以是从请求信号中标识的特定组成员列表中添加或移除终端节点,例如移动无线终端。 接入节点维护组成员的详细列表,并使用该信息来控制如何将信号(例如,分组)发送到组成员。 在切换时和/或终端节点进入小区时,组成员信息可以在接入节点更新,或以其他方式改变其网络连接点。

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for enhancing Mobile IP signaling and to support use of disparate addressing plans and dynamic Home Agent allocation in Mobile IP Regional Tunneling are described. The enhanced methods of signaling use an intermediate node, e.g., a Gateway Foreign Agent, straddling different addressing domains, when the signaling controls a process between the intermediate node and an upstream node. The specific intermediate node, its interfaces and upstream addresses can be dynamically selected. The Enhanced MIP signaling includes dynamic allocation of: a regional node at a Foreign Agent, the upstream address of a regional node by the regional node, a Home Agent for a regional node prior to dynamic allocation of the regional node. A method is supported to indicate to a Mobile Node that a dynamically allocated regional node has become invalid triggering enhanced MIP signaling dynamically allocating a new regional node and upstream interface address.
