Abstract
A mobility management system in which mobility management for a mobile terminal is performed, including a plurality of mobility anchor nodes configured to communicate with an external network; an access gateway configured to communicate with the mobile terminal and the plurality of anchor nodes, and configured to send, to at least one of the mobility anchor nodes, a packet being relayed between the mobility terminal and the external network; and a control unit having at least one hardware processor configured to execute modules to control the access gateway to switch a destination mobility anchor node of the packet.
Claims4
A mobility management system in which mobility management for a mobile terminal is performed, comprising:
- a plurality of mobility anchor nodes configured to communicate with an external network;
- an access gateway configured to communicate with the mobile terminal and the plurality of anchor nodes, and configured to send, to at least one of the mobility anchor nodes, a packet being relayed between the mobility terminal and the external network;
- and
- a control unit having at least one hardware processor configured to execute modules to control the access gateway to switch a destination mobility anchor node of the packet.
A method performed in a mobility management system in which mobility management for a mobile terminal is performed, wherein the mobility management system comprises:
- a plurality of mobility anchor nodes configured to communicate with an external network;
- an access gateway configured to communicate with the mobile terminal and the plurality of anchor nodes, and configured to send, to at least one of the mobility anchor nodes, a packet being relayed between the mobility terminal and the external network;
- and
- a control unit,
- the method comprising controlling, by the control unit, the access gateway to switch a destination mobility anchor node of the packet.
A control apparatus used in a mobility management system in which mobility management for a mobile terminal is performed, wherein the mobility management system comprises:
- a plurality of mobility anchor nodes configured to communicate with an external network;
- an access gateway configured to communicate with the mobile terminal and the plurality of anchor nodes, and configured to send, to at least one of the mobility anchor nodes, a packet being relayed between the mobility terminal and the external network;
- and
- the control apparatus,
- the control apparatus comprising at least one hardware processor configured to execute modules comprising a controller configured to control the access gateway to switch a destination mobility anchor node of the packet.
