Abstract
Methods and apparatus for establishing communication links, used to support communications sessions with one or more end nodes, e.g., mobile devices, are described. Various features are directed to a mobile node controlling the establishment of initial links to a first access node and the establishment of new links from a first access node to a second access node during a handoff operation using highly efficient messages and signal.
Claims29
A method of operating a base station, the method comprising:
- receiving one of a Home Address, Home Agent Address, and wireless terminal profile information, from a node which is different from a wireless terminal to which said received one of a Home Address, Home Agent Address, and wireless terminal profile information corresponds;
- receiving a reduced size Mobile IP registration message from said wireless terminal;
- and
- generating from said received reduced size Mobile IP registration message and said received one of a Home Address, Home Agent Address, and wireless terminal profile information at least one of a Mobile IPv4 or Mobile IPv6 registration message.
A base station comprising:
- a memory including stored state information corresponding to a wireless terminal, said state information including at least one of a Home Address, Home Agent Address, and wireless terminal profile information received from a node which is different from said wireless terminal;
- a receiver module for receiving a reduced size Mobile IP registration message;
- a signal generation module for generating from said reduced size Mobile IP registration message and said one of a Home Address, Home Agent Address, and wireless terminal profile information received from the node which is different from said wireless terminal, at least one of a Mobile IPv4 or Mobile IPv6 registration message.
A device comprising a processor configured to control a base station to implement a method, the method comprising:
- receiving one of a Home Address, Home Agent Address, and wireless terminal profile information, from a node which is different from a wireless terminal to which said received one of a Home Address, Home Agent Address, and wireless terminal profile information corresponds;
- receiving a reduced size Mobile IP registration message from said wireless terminal;
- and
- generating from said received reduced size Mobile IP registration message and said received one of a Home Address, Home Agent Address, and wireless terminal profile information at least one of a Mobile IPv4 or Mobile IPv6registration message.
A computer readable medium embodying computer executable instructions for controlling a base station to implement a method, the method comprising:
- receiving one of a Home Address, Home Agent Address, and wireless terminal profile information, from a node which is different from a wireless terminal to which said received one of a Home Address, Home Agent Address, and wireless terminal profile information corresponds;
- receiving a reduced size Mobile IP registration message from said wireless terminal;
- and
- generating from said received reduced size Mobile IP registration message and said received one of a Home Address, Home Agent Address, and wireless terminal profile information at least one of a Mobile IPv4 or Mobile IPv6 registration message.
A base station comprising:
- memory means for storing state information corresponding to a wireless terminal, said state information including at least one of a Home Address, Home Agent Address, and wireless terminal profile information received from a node which is different from said wireless terminal;
- receiver means for receiving a reduced size Mobile IP registration message;
- and
- signal generation means for generating from said reduced size Mobile IP registration message and said one of a Home Address, Home Agent Address, and wireless terminal profile information received from a node which is different from said wireless terminal, at least one of a Mobile IPv4 or Mobile IPv6 registration message.
