A method and an apparatus for securing media independent handover message transportation are provided. The method for securing media independent handover message transportation, include: performing an authentication procedure by a terminal with an access router to generate a master session key; transmitting the generated master session key and address information of the terminal to an information server by the access router; generating an information server key to be used in transmitting and receiving a message by the information server with the terminal using the received master session key and the address information of the terminal; and forming a secure channel by the terminal and the information server using the generated information server key. Since a key formed at a layer 2 is used in an MIH authentication step being a layer 3 not to repeatedly create a secure key, a security procedure may be rapidly performed.

Method for temporarily suspending a network connection is provided, which connection uses a Media Independent Handover Function (300). The method comprises receiving a suspend command in the Media Independent Handover Function (300), detecting the suspend command in the Media Independent Handover Function (300) and suspending the network connection. Furthermore the method comprises receiving a resume command in the Media Independent Handover Function (300), detecting the resume command in the Media Independent Handover Function (300) and resuming the network connection.

Provided are a method for processing handover to provide IP mobility for mobile user equipment, a system thereof, and a Mobile IP (MIP) client device. The method processing handover at a home agent in a heterogeneous protocol mixed network includes: at a home agent, creating a Proxy Mobile IP (PMIP) tunnel when user equipment accesses a PMIP network; at the home agent, creating a Client Mobile IP (CMIP) tunnel when a CMIP network is accessed due to handover of the user equipment; and at the home agent, severing the PMIP tunnel when the user equipment completes performing handover.

A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may include a media application that receives data from a media server via a link on a downlink (DL) -only radio access network. The link on the DL-only radio access network may be handed over to a second DL-only radio access network. A mobility management server, such as a Media Independent Handover (MIH) server, may communicate with the WTRU via a second radio access network that is a bidirectional radio access network to facilitate the handover. MIH messages may include fields that relate to DL-only radio access technologies may be used to facilitate handover of a DL-only link. Further, MIH broadcast or multicast messages may be used to facilitate the handover of a DL-only link.

An apparatus for providing security to media independent handover service includes a point of service for providing the media independent handover services including an independent authenticator. The independent authenticator authenticates candidate access networks prior to the handover of the mobile devices from serving access networks to the candidate access networks, where each of the serving access networks and the candidate access networks belong to a plurality of heterogeneous access networks having the specific serving media. An access controller applies an access control through an access authentication with the point of service providing the media independent handover services through an authentication server, in which when the access authentication is established between the point of service and the authentication server, the mobile devices are authorized to access the media independent handover services through the point of service for the mobile devices attached between heterogeneous media.

A method of performing a handover with at least one of a homogeneous and heterogeneous network is disclosed. More specifically, the method comprises establishing a heterogeneous network handover module for converging information from the at least one network interface module associated with the at least one of a homogeneous and heterogeneous network into a unified presentation and receiving a message for powering on at least one network interface module in a mobile terminal from the heterogeneous network handover module. The method further comprises performing a power on operation for activating the at least one network interface module and transmitting a confirmation message for indicating a power on operation status to the heterogeneous network handover module.

This application describes, among other things, a framework of Media-independent Pre-Authentication (MPA), a new handover optimization mechanism that has a potential to address issues on existing mobility management protocols and mobility optimization mechanisms. MPA is a mobile-assisted, secure handover optimization scheme that works over any link-layer and with any mobility management protocol. This application also shows, among other things, an initial implementation of MPA in our testbed and some performance results to show how existing protocols could be leveraged to realize the functionalities of MPA.

A method of providing session mobility and a user terminal are provided. The method includes, when a session is set through one interface, receiving a request for session transfer to a network corresponding to another interface, checking the available resource capacity of the network to which the session will be transferred, and determining whether or not to transfer the session based on the result of the check operation and establishing a session with the network. The method can improve the reliability of an Internet protocol (IP) multimedia subsystem (IMS) service continuity function.

A handover method between heterogeneous networks is disclosed. A method for pre-configuration of an IP address allows a mobile terminal to perform a handover between heterogeneous networks. Methods for relaying messages for pre-configuration of IP address and a method for relaying messages for performing MIH based on pre-configuration of IP address are also disclosed.
摘要:
The present invention relates to supporting a handover of a mobile terminal. Preferably, the present invention performs a scan of a neighboring network different from a current network of the mobile terminal to determine the presence of an accessible link of the neighboring network for performing a handover, wherein the mobile terminal comprises a heterogeneous network handover module that is configured to provide convergence of information from at least one network interface module associated with one of a homogeneous and heterogeneous network into a unified presentation. An information message is then received from the neighboring network, wherein the information message comprises an information element associated with whether the neighboring network is capable of communicating with the heterogeneous network handover module of the mobile terminal.
