Multipath communications for mobile node interfaces

A wireless communications apparatus for establishing multiple sub-connections in a mobile communication protocol, comprising:

• at least one processor configured to:
• initialize a sub-connection through a home agent (HA) for communicating with a correspondent node (CN) over a mobile node interface;
• and
• establish a different sub-connection through the HA for communicating with the different mobile node interface, wherein the sub-connection and the different sub-connection form a multipath connection;
• and
• a memory coupled to the at least one processor.

A computer program product for establishing multiple sub-connections in a mobile communication protocol, comprising:

• a computer-readable medium, comprising:
• code for causing at least one computer to initialize a sub-connection through a home agent (HA) for communicating with a correspondent node (CN) over a mobile node interface;
• and
• code for causing the at least one computer to establish a different sub-connection through the HA for communicating with the different mobile node interface, wherein the sub-connection and the different sub-connection form a multipath connection.
