Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide systems and methods for processing messages in a wireless communications environment.SOLUTION: A mobile device, when registering with a network domain node via a plurality of access points, assigns sequence information to order the registration. A mobile 230 forms a communications link via an AP2 (240) and initiates registration with an LMA 210 (270). The registration is assigned an initial sequence number (SeqNo). The mobile 230 forms a communications link via another AP3 after moving (284) and assigns a new sequence number (SeqNo++) when performing subsequent registration with the LMA 210. A sequence number associated with an AP is employed for communications with the LMA 210.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide systems and methodologies that facilitate inter-system handover in a wireless communication system, and to provide 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 by a source system and/or a target system.SOLUTION: A radio link of a source system is utilized to tunnel signaling messages which are in a format understood by a destination node in a target system. Accordingly, fast inter-access handover is facilitated by establishing a simple generic transmission tunnel between respective network nodes in source and target systems that handle intra-system mobility and preparing a Layer 2 (L2) tunneling mechanism over a radio interface of each involved system technology.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To facilitate utilizing a base station as a regional mobility agent (e.g., regional home agent, regional foreign agent, and/or the like).SOLUTION: A base station can have functionality that enables the base station to create tunnels with other base stations and selectively transmit data intended for a wireless terminal to those base stations. Such base stations can then transmit the data to the wireless terminal.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of validating reliability of an acquired IP address.SOLUTION: A device can connect to a network over a first interface to configure and obtain an IP address. To communicate with nodes in a second network over a second interface, the IP address can be validated by a trusted third party. The validation can include conducting a return routability test to validate a prefix of the IP address. Cryptographically generated address verification can be utilized to verify the validity of an interface identifier included in the IP address. If the IP address is validated, the trusted third party can include the address in a verification ticket, which can also include a signature of the trusted third party. The device can provide the verification ticket to nodes in the second network as authentication of the device.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide methods and apparatus for routing messages between an end node and an access node via another access node.SOLUTION: Physical layer identification information is used when identifying a remote, e.g., adjacent, access node as a message destination. Thus, when a connection identifier based on one or more physical layer identifiers is available to a wireless terminal, e.g., from one or more downlink signals received from a destination access node, the wireless terminal can use the connection identifier corresponding to the destination node to route a message via an access node with which it has an established uplink connection. Such connection identifier information can be used even when other addressing information, e.g., network layer address information, associated with the destination access node, may not be available to the wireless terminal.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide refined quality of service with respect to one or more traffic flows associated with a terminal.SOLUTION: Each device associated with a wireless packet-switched network may not be aware of an identity and/or address of a particular point of attachment with respect to a wireless terminal. A data packet that should be provided to a particular point of attachment can be initially directed to a wireless terminal or a one-hop multicast address, for instance. Thereafter, the data packet can be encapsulated in a frame format and an identity of the particular point of attachment can be provided in such frame. The frame can thereafter be routed to the point of attachment.

Abstract:
TECHNIQUES FOR SUPPORTING POLICY CONTROL AND CHARGING (PCC) FUNCTIONS IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORK ARE DESCRIBED. IN ONE DESIGN, A POLICY CONTROL AND CHARGING RULES FUNCTION (PCRF) MAY RECEIVE A REQUEST FROM A FIRST NETWORK ENTITY (E.G., A HOME AGENT) TO ESTABLISH A PCC SESSION FOR A USER EQUIPMENT (UE)(110) ACCESSING THE FIRST NETWORK ENTITY USING A MOBILITY PROTOCOL (E.G., MOBILE IP). THE PCRF MAY DETERMINE THE MOBILITY PROTOCOL USED BY THE UE (110) BASED ON AN IP-CAN TYPE PARAMETER INCLUDED IN THE REQUEST. THE PCRF MAY DETERMINE PCC RULES FOR THE PCC SESSION BASED ON THE MOBILITY PROTOCOL AND MAY SEND THE PCC RULES TO THE FIRST NETWORK ENTITY. THE FIRST NETWORK ENTITY MAY APPLY THE PCC RULES ON PACKETS FOR THE PCC SESSION AND MAY COUNT EACH PACKET FOR CHARGING. A SECOND NETWORK ENTITY MAY FORWARD THE PACKETS BUT WOULD NOT COUNT THESE PACKETS FOR CHARGING.
Abstract:
descoberta de agente de origem de ip móvel sistemas e metodologias são descritas que facilitam descoberta de agente de origem (ha) de ip móvel em um sistema de comunicação sem fio. a descoberta de um ha para ip móvel pode ser conduzida, conforme descrito aqui, para um terminal móvel localizado em uma rede em que movimento do terminal é gerenciado por um protocolo de mobilidade baseado em rede. por exemplo, diversos aspectos descritos aqui podem ser utilizados para descoberta de um ha localizado em uma rede 3gpp de acesso 3gpp e/ou não 3gpp. além disso, diversos aspectos descritos aqui podem ser utilizados para descobrir um gateway atuando como ancora de mobilidade para um protocolo de mobilidade de rede utilizado pela rede. como descrito adicionalmente aqui, a descoberta de ha pode ser conduzida com relação a formação e comunicação de consulta de dns e procedimentos de acoplamento e/ou re-acoplamento de rede, sinalização de descoberta de vizinho e/ou outros procedimentos.
Abstract:
regras de controle de diretiva e taxação (pcc) com base em protocolo de mobilidade. técnicas para suportar funções de controle politica e taxação (pcc) em uma rede de comunicação sem fio são descritas. em um projeto, uma função de regras controle de politica e taxação (pcrf) pode receber uma solicitação de uma primeira entidade de rede ( por exemplo , um agente nativo) para estabelecer uma sessão de pcc para um equipamento de usuário (ue) acessar a primeira entidade de rede usando um protocolo de mobilidade (por exemplo, ip móvel ). a pcrf pode determinar o protocolo de mobilidade utilizando pelo ue com base em um parâmetro tipo ip-can de pcc para sessão de pcc com base no protocolo mobilidade e pode enviar as regras de pcc para a primeira entidade de rede. a primeira entidade de rede pode aplicar as regras de pcc em pacotes para sessão de pcc e pode contar cada pacote para taxação . a segunda entidade de rede pode encaminhar os pacotes, mas não conta esses pacotes para taxação.
