Access points are grouped into access point groups. An access point group table that stores correlation between the access point groups and the access points and a terminal position table that manages the correlation between the access point groups and a terminal are provided for a position managing server that manages the position of the terminal. An access point notifies the position managing server of the identifier of the access point itself and the identifier of the terminal being connected to the access point. In the position managing server, an access point group to which the access point belongs is found by searching the access point group table. The terminal is registered in the column of “access point group” of the terminal position table.

摘要:
A communication relay apparatus is provided that shortens the time of communication relay during handovers, while reducing the load on communication relay apparatuses so as to enable application to large-scale networks. The communication relay apparatus sets static tunnels only with communication relay apparatuses for which the frequency of handovers is high and with communication relay apparatuses for which the probability of occurrence of handovers is high, and sets dynamic tunnels with other communication relay apparatuses. For communication relay apparatuses with which static tunnels are set, data packets are transferred via the static tunnel; for communication relay apparatuses with which static tunnels are not set, a dynamic tunnel is set, and data packets are transferred via the dynamic tunnel.

To provide a technology of setting up a call at a high efficiency by a location management device's sending notification of a call setup request to a call control device corresponding to a location of a callee communication device. A call control device connected to a location management device via a network receives a call setup request, searches a location data table for location information of a callee communication device in response to the call setup request, sets up, when the location information is searched out as a result of the search, a call on the basis of the location information, and notifies, when the location information is not searched out as the result of the search, the location management device of the call setup request. The location management device receives notification of a call setup request from the call control device, refers to a storage unit stored with management information specifying which call control device controls the call targeted at each callee communication device, and notifies, of the call setup request, the call control device that controls the call to the callee communication device at which the call setup request is targeted on the basis of the management information referred to.

A network connection restoration method of an IP communications system having a radio access network and using Mobile IP for managing the movement of a mobile terminal is disclosed. The network connection restoration method includes the steps of (a) an AAA server selecting a first one of multiple home agents to which one the mobile terminal is to be connected at the time of authenticating the mobile terminal, (b) the AAA server detecting a failure of the selected first one of the home agents by communicating with the selected first one of the home agents, and (c) the AAA server selecting a second one of the home agents in response to step (b) detecting the failure of the selected first one of the home agents.
