Abstract
A method for using Internet mobility protocols with non Internet mobility protocols is described. A first gateway node communicates with a second gateway node using a first protocol. The first protocol is a non Internet mobility protocol. A home address (HoA) for a mobile node is managed by the second gateway node. Updates regarding the location of the mobile node within a domain are received using a second protocol. The second protocol is an Internet mobility protocol. Intra-domain mobility for the mobile node is managed by the second gateway node using the second protocol.
Claims24
A method for using Internet mobility protocols with non Internet mobility protocols, comprising:
- communicating with a first gateway node using a first protocol, wherein the first protocol is a non Internet mobility protocol;
- managing a home address (HoA) for a mobile node;
- receiving updates regarding the location of the mobile node within a domain using a second protocol, wherein the second protocol is an Internet mobility protocol;
- and
- managing intra-domain mobility for the mobile node using the second protocol.
A gateway node that is configured to use Internet mobility protocols with non Internet mobility protocols, the gateway node comprising:
- a processor;
- memory in electronic communication with the processor;
- instructions stored in the memory, the instructions being executable to:
- communicate with a second gateway node using a first protocol, wherein the first protocol is a non Internet mobility protocol;
- manage a home address (HoA) for a mobile node;
- receive updates regarding the location of the mobile node within a domain using a second protocol, wherein the second protocol is an Internet mobility protocol;
- and
- manage intra-domain mobility for the mobile node using the second protocol.
A computer-program product for using Internet mobility protocols with non Internet mobility protocols, the computer-program product comprising a computer readable medium having instructions thereon, the instructions comprising:
- code for communicating with a first gateway node using a first protocol, wherein the first protocol is a non Internet mobility protocol;
- code for managing a home address (HoA) for a mobile node;
- code for receiving updates regarding the location of the mobile node within a domain using a second protocol, wherein the second protocol is an Internet mobility protocol;
- and
- code for managing intra-domain mobility for the mobile node using the second protocol.
An apparatus for using Internet mobility protocols with non Internet mobility protocols, the apparatus comprising:
- means for communicating with a first gateway node using a first protocol, wherein the first protocol is a non Internet mobility protocol;
- means for managing a home address (HoA) for a mobile node;
- means for receiving updates regarding the location of the mobile node within a domain using a second protocol, wherein the second protocol is an Internet mobility protocol;
- and
- means for managing intra-domain mobility for the mobile node using the second protocol.
