Abstract:
A method and apparatus for performing a handover of a communication session from a non-3GPP access network to a 3GPP access network in which only a Gn/Gp-based Serving GPRS Support Node has been deployed in the 3GPP access network. The method includes establishing the communication session between a user equipment and an Evolved Packet Core through the non-3GPP access network, and performing a handover of the communication session from the non-3GPP access network to the 3GPP access network. Performing the handover includes providing information to the UE of a selected packet data network gateway prior to performing the handover, and providing the information of the selected packet data network gateway from the user equipment to the 3GPP access network during the handover to maintain continuity of the communication session between the user equipment and the Evolved Packet Core.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for performing a handover of network connections upon a mobile terminal moving from a first access network to a second access network. The method includes obtaining IP connectivity and a first IP address for the mobile terminal through the first access network. In response to the mobile terminal moving from the first access network to the second access network, the method further includes sending a request for a new IP connectivity and a second IP address over the second access network, the request indicating a need to handover the network connections from the first access network to the second access network.
Abstract:
A media access gateway comprises a wireless network interface, an address assignment module, and a proxy mobility agent module. The wireless network interface establishes a wireless link with a wireless terminal. The address assignment module receives an address request message, which includes a mobility signal from the wireless terminal. The proxy mobility agent module selectively transmits a proxy binding update to a local mobility anchor and receives a proxy binding acknowledgement from the local mobility anchor. The address assignment module selectively transmits an address assignment message to the wireless terminal when the mobility signal indicates proxy mobility. The address assignment message is based on address information in the proxy binding acknowledgement.
Abstract:
The subject matter of this disclosure can be implemented in, among other things, a method. In these examples, the method includes sending a request from a first network node to a second network node to request a bundled transport control protocol (TCP) connection between the first network node and the second network node, wherein the bundled TCP connection includes a group of member TCP connections associated with the bundled TCP connection. The method may also include receiving a response message with the first network node sent from the second network node, wherein the response message includes an indication of a status of the request, sending an acknowledgment message from the first network node to the second network node, and establishing the bundled TCP connection when the status of the request included in the response message indicates that the request is successful.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for performing a detach procedure between a first device and a second device. The method includes receiving, at a first device, an informational exchange message to delete an IP security association between the first device and a second device. The informational exchange message further includes a notify message indicating that the deletion of the IP security association is due to a detach request. In response to the notify message indicating that the deletion of the IP security association is due to the detach request, the method further includes automatically deleting, at the first device, a mobility related state associated with the host-based mobility protocol.
Abstract:
A media access gateway comprises a wireless network interface, an authorization module, a filter information module, and a proxy mobility agent module. The wireless network interface selectively establishes a wireless link with a first interface of a wireless terminal that has a plurality of wireless interfaces. The authorization module determines a home agent corresponding to the wireless terminal. The filter information module receives filter information from one of the wireless terminal and a server and generates output filter information. The proxy mobility agent module transmits a binding update to the home agent. The binding update includes the output filter information.
Abstract:
A system and method for optimizing the visual fidelity of a presentation for a plurality of audience members and a plurality of display devices, comprising: modeling the quality of view available to the plurality of audience members based on: one or more properties of the display devices, a distribution of the display devices, a distribution of the plurality of audience members, and the visual presentation wherein the visual presentation comprises one or more h-slides; and determining an optimal mapping for the one or more h-slides to the plurality of display devices based on the modeling.
Abstract:
An access router includes a wireless network interface, an address assignment module, and an availability module. The wireless network interface establishes a wireless link with a wireless terminal. The address assignment module determines a list of packet data networks for use by the wireless terminal. The availability module determines a mobile internet protocol availability for each packet data network in the list of packet data networks and generates an availability signal based on each mobile internet protocol availability. The address assignment module transmits an address assignment message that includes the availability signal to the wireless terminal.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for encrypting a home address of a mobile node, in which the mobile node implements a host-based mobility protocol during wireless communications with a home agent. The method includes applying an encryption algorithm on the home address to generate an encrypted home address, and placing the encrypted home address within a destination option of a payload packet. The payload packet is sent by the mobile node while away from a home network associated with the mobile node.
