Abstract:
A method and a device for managing mobility of a mobile station in an Internet Protocol (IP) based network are provided. The method includes receiving a request for allocation of an IP address from an application, determining a type of IP address to be allocated to the application based on the request for the allocation of the IP address, and allocating the determined type of IP address to the application.
Abstract:
This invention discloses a mobility management method for IPv6 over Low power Wireless Personal Area Network, comprising: receiving a compressed binding update message; performing a binding update according to said compressed binding update message; and decompressing said compressed binding update message and sending said decompressed binding update message to a home agent. This invention also discloses a mobility management device for IPv6 over Low power Wireless Personal Area Network, comprising: means for receiving a compressed binding update message; means for performing a binding update according to said compressed binding update message; and means for decompressing said compressed binding update message and sending said decompressed binding update message to a home agent. The compressed binding update message and binding acknowledgement message can reduce the size of binding messages, whereby reducing the signaling overhead for position updates and improving the network mobility efficiency for IPv6 over Low power Wireless Personal Area Network.
Abstract:
A method to allow a more efficient routing in Network Mobility by means of a mobile router deciding on a more efficient route to be taken as it roams between networks comprising the steps of starting a delay counter when the mobile router performed a handoff from one network to another network, deciding whether performing a Route Optimization is necessary based on the delay counter, stripping of a parent subnet from a new Care-of-Address, comparing the parent subnet with home subnet, deciding whether the mobile router is performing a micromobility or macromobility, deciding whether the mobile router is roaming in its parent network or in/between foreign networks and selecting an appropriate Route Optimization method based on type of mobility performed.
Abstract:
Se aplica en redes jerarquizadas de protocolo de Internet (IP) versión IPv6 que comprenden una pluralidad de diferentes sistemas autónomos (AS) que utilizan un protocolo de enrutado de pasarela fronteriza (BGP-4) para su comunicación, el cual no permite establecer sesiones de enrutado automáticamente, lo que impide crear servicios multiproveedor. El método de la invención permite la creación de servicios multiproveedor en las redes anteriormente comentadas mediante el uso del protocolo BGP-4 establecido por las normas y tecnologías actuales. De esta forma se puede aumentar la oferta de servicios por parte de los proveedores.
Abstract:
Disclosed are systems, methods and computer program products for facilitating multiplexing of simultaneous multiple connections between a mobile device and its IP mobility anchors, such as mobile IP home agents or proxy mobile IP local mobility anchors. An example method comprises assigning a unique IP mobility anchor identifier to each IP mobility anchor associated with the mobile device. The method further comprises negotiating an IP flow reservation for each IP mobility anchor identifier and signaling a request to associate each negotiated IP flow with an IP tunnel to a particular IP mobility anchor. The method further comprises sending packets through each negotiated IP flow and associated IP tunnel to each IP mobility anchor.
Abstract:
In a future scenario where end to end route optimization protocol such as the Access Router Option protocol and Hierarchical Mobility Management protocol are implemented in the visiting mobile nodes, mobile routers and the mobility anchor points, routing sub-optimality may occur when visiting mobile node that is nested is trying to communicate with the correspondent node. To overcome such routing sub-optimality arising in this heterogeneous protocol scenario, this invention presents a primary mechanism where the registration at the mobility anchor point is such that the local care-of address associated with visiting mobile node and local care-of addresses associated with upstream mobile routers of the visiting mobile node can be obtained using a single access router option protocol type of recursive tracing mechanism. Such tracing is achieved by embedding a different type of address in the access router option based binding registration at the mobility anchor point.
Abstract:
When a mobile host or mobile router in nested mobile network is roaming in a domain with multiple mobility anchor points, if the mobile host or mobile router in the nested mobile network tree path chooses different mobility anchor points to derive its regional care-of address, routing sub-optimality may occur. To overcome such routing sub-optimality, this invention presents two main methods. The first method is where the mobile router detects that a downstream node in its tree path has derived a regional care-of address from another mobility anchor point, and will make appropriate on-demand duplicate registration at the other mobility anchorpoint. The second method is such that the mobile router informs its own mobility anchor point of other mobility anchor point addresses, so that the mobile router's mobility anchor point will pass the location entries of the mobile router to the other mobility anchor points.

Abstract:
A method and nodes are provided for localizing traffic between communication nodes receiving service from a same network. A local mobility anchor informs media access gateways providing access to two communication nodes of each other's addresses. Traffic exchanged between the two communication nodes connected to the same network via these media access gateways are routed directly between the gateways, bypassing the local mobility anchor.
