A method, comprising:
- receiving, at a first access node, a message indicating that a mobile node has selected a second access node as a controlling access node for media independent handover (MIH) commands;
- and
- transferring event context information associated with the mobile node from the first access node to the second access node dependent on the first access node receiving the message, the event context information indicating an event context state of the mobile node and at least one trigger for reporting at least one event between the mobile node and the second access node following handoff of the mobile node to the second access node, the at least one event indicating a change in state or a transmission behavior of at least one of a physical layer, a data link layer, or a logical link layer used for communication between the mobile node and the second access node following handoff of the mobile node to the second access node.
A method, comprising:
- transmitting, from a first access node, a message indicating that a mobile node has selected the first access node as a controlling access node for media independent handover (MIH) commands;
- and
- receiving, at the first access node, event context information associated with the mobile node from a second access node dependent on transmission of the message, the event context information indicating an event context state of the mobile node and at least one trigger for reporting at least one event between the mobile node and the first access node following handoff of the mobile node to the first access node, the at least one event indicating a change in state or a transmission behavior of at least one of a physical layer, a data link layer, or a logical link layer used for communication between the mobile node and the first access node following handoff of the mobile node to the first access node.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a first access node configured to:
- receive a message indicating that a mobile node has selected a second access node as a controlling access node for media independent handover (MIH) commands:
- and
- transfer event context information associated with the mobile node from the first access node to the second access node dependent on the first access node receiving the message, the event context information indicating an event context state of the mobile node and at least one trigger for reporting at least one event between the mobile node and the second access node following handoff of the mobile node to the second access node, the at least one event indicating a change in state or a transmission behavior of at least one of a physical layer, a data link layer, or a logical link layer used for communication between the mobile node and the second access node following handoff of the mobile node to the second access node.
