SEAMLESS TRANSMISSION OF DATA TO MOBILE NODES DURING FAST HANDOVERS IN A MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

The invention relates to a method for transmitting data to a mobile node. A network access entity is connected to several routing entities, forming a routing area. The mobile node is located within a reception area, controlled by a first routing entity. A moving velocity of the mobile node is continuously being calculated and compared to a pre determined threshold. In case the moving velocity is not higher than the threshold, the data is transmitted from the network access entity to the first routing entity and from there to the mobile node. In case the velocity is higher than the threshold, the data is transmitted from the network access entity to each of the routing entities within the routing area and is then further transmitted from the first routing entity to the mobile node.
