Arrangement for improving availability of services in a communication system

摘要

A communications systems, e.g., a telecommunications system, includes distributed hardware and software components which interact to provide services to one or more users. Mobile terminal communications with the distributed components are supported (1) by dividing a kernel transport network (kTN) into a fixed part and a mobile part, and (2) by using two agents. One terminal agent on the fixed part represents the mobile terminal, and another agent on each mobile terminal represents the fixed part of the kernel transport network.
