Abstract:
Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate enabling multiple address access between two or more networks. A home agent can update a binding cache with a particular proxy binding update (PBU) to include two or more network gateway IP addresses associated with a user equipment (UE) within two or more networks or systems. When the UE in idle mode moves between networks or systems to which registration has occurred, an attachment procedure is not performed since the home agent includes the network gateway IP addresses related to such UE. Thus, inter-system idle mode mobility is enabled without having to perform a full attachment, re-registration, or de-registration based on the network location of the UE.

Abstract:
Local breakout is provided by one or more nodes (e.g., a local access point and/or a local gateway) in a wireless network to facilitate access to one or more local services. In conjunction with local breakout, multiple IP points of presence relating to different levels of service may be provided for an access point. For example, one point of presence may relate to a local service while another point of presence may relate to a core network service. IP point of presence may be identified for an over-the-air packet to indicate a termination point for the packet. Also, different mobility management functionality may be provided at different nodes in a system whereby mobility management for a given node may be provided by a different node for different types of traffic. Thus, an access terminal may support multiple NAS instances. In addition, different types of paging may be provided for different types of traffic. Furthermore, messages associated with one protocol may be carried over another protocol to reduce complexity in the system.

Abstract:
Techniques for supporting roaming in wireless communication networks are described. In one design, an access point name (APN) and a preferred roaming protocol for a user equipment (UE) roaming from a home network to a visited network may be obtained. The APN may be associated with a data service requested by the UE. The preferred roaming protocol may be GPRS Tunneling Protocol (GTP), Mobile Internet Protocol (MIP), Proxy Mobile Internet Protocol (PMIP), etc. A suitable network entity to provide data connectivity for the UE may be determined based on the APN and the preferred roaming protocol. In one design, the network entity may be (i) a packet data network (PDN) gateway in the home network if the preferred roaming protocol is GTP or (ii) a home agent in the home network if the preferred roaming protocol is PMIP or MIP.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for switching among networks (e.g., heterogeneous) and inter-working between a source access system and a target access system, by implementing tunneling from the AT to the target access system via the source access system. An inter-system handoff control component can facilitate setting tunneling by the mobile unit to the target access and/or between the source access system and the target access system—wherein signaling/packeting associated with the target system can be transferred over the source system.
Abstract:
SYSTEMS AND METHODOLOGIES ARE DESCRIBED THAT FACILITATE INTER-SYSTEM HANDOVER IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM (300). VARIOUS ASPECTS DESCRIBED HEREIN PROVIDE FOR HANDOVER TECHNIQUES THAT ENABLE A TARGET SYSTEM TO BE PREPARED BY A MOBILE DEVICE VIA A SOURCE SYSTEM IN ORDER TO MINIMIZE SPECIFIC CHANGES REQUIRED TO SOURCE SYSTEM AND/OR TARGET SYSTEM. TECHNIQUES ARE DESCRIBED HEREIN IN WHICH THE RADIO LINK OF A SOURCE SYSTEM CAN BE UTILIZED TO TUNNEL SIGNALING MESSAGES WHICH ARE IN A FORMAT UNDERSTOOD BY A DESTINATION NODE IN A TARGET SYSTEM. FURTHER, FAST INTER-ACCESS HANDOVER CAN BE FACILITATED BY ESTABLISHING A SIMPLE GENERIC TRANSMISSION TUNNEL BETWEEN RESPECTIVE NETWORK NODES IN SOURCE AND TARGET SYSTEMS THAT HANDLE INTRA-SYSTEM MOBILITY AND PROVIDING A LAYER 2 (L2) TUNNELING MECHANISM OVER THE RADIO INTERFACE OF EACH INVOLVED SYSTEM TECHNOLOGY.
Abstract:
In a method and apparatus for providing system interoperability in wireless communications an IP based client-server application maintains a proper set of PDP contexts while a mobile is connected via an IP based system. The application client resides in the mobile and the server resides within the network at a common anchor point between the IP based system and a PDP contexts based system. The PDP contexts are kept up to date but on hold until a handover occurs for the mobile from the IP based system to the PDP contexts based system.
Abstract:
A method for wireless communications is provided. The method includes establishing a connection with a gateway device in a wireless network. This includes receiving a configuration packet from the gateway device that identifies home mobility options. The method processes at least one home network address from the home mobility options. The method also includes receiving or processing a home network prefix from the home mobility options.
