Abstract
According to one embodiment, a method involves receiving an incoming media access control (MAC) frame that includes a header, a frame body and an error detection field. Thereafter, an information element within the frame body is analyzed to determine whether to alter a mobility tunnel between a plurality of networking devices.
Claims17
Adapted for transmission from a wireless device to a first networking device over a link with the first networking device in communication with a second networking device over a mobility tunnel, a frame comprising:
- a header;
- and
- a frame body including an information element to solely initiate closure of the mobility tunnel.
A method comprising:
- receiving a frame by a first networking device;
- and
- analyzing a predetermined information element within the frame;
- and
- closing a mobility tunnel between the first networking device and a second networking device based on data within the predetermined information element.
