DYNAMIC INTERNET PROTOCOL ADDRESSING SOLUTIONS WITH NETWORK-BASED MOBILITY

摘要

A media access gateway comprises a wireless network interface, an address assignment module, and a proxy mobility agent module. The wireless network interface establishes a wireless link with a wireless terminal. The address assignment module receives an address request message, which includes a mobility signal from the wireless terminal. The proxy mobility agent module selectively transmits a proxy binding update to a local mobility anchor and receives a proxy binding acknowledgement from the local mobility anchor. The address assignment module selectively transmits an address assignment message to the wireless terminal when the mobility signal indicates proxy mobility. The address assignment message is based on address information in the proxy binding acknowledgement.
