METHOD FOR ESTABLISHING A DATA CONNECTION BETWEEN AN IP COMMUNICATION NETWORK AND AN AD HOC COMMUNICATION NETWORK VIA A MOBILITY AGENT, AND CORRESPONDING NETWORK LINKING DEVICE

摘要

The invention relates to a method for establishing a data connection between an IP communication network and an ad hoc network. According to the inventive method, a first part (D1) of the data connection between an element (N1) of the ad hoc network (AHN) and a mobile network linking device (NVE) associated with the ad hoc network is established by means of an ad hoc communication protocol (AODV). The mobile network linking device then determines whether it is within the sphere of influence of a first access network (ZN1) which mediates access to the IP communication network. The network linking device establishes a second part (D2) of the data connection to the communication network via a mobility agent (FA1) when the network linking device is located in the sphere of influence of the first access network. The invention also relates to a network linking device.
