Abstract:
1. A method of a Mobility Information Control Server (MICS) supporting flow mobility based on Access Independent Mobility Service (AIMS), the method comprising: receiving a location registration message from a first Handover Control Agent (HCA) connected to a Mobile Node (MN); determining a movement of a flow, configured in a second HCA to which the MN is connected, based on predetermined static flow binding information or a network status; sending a location registration Ack. message, comprising information on a third HCA in which the flow is configured and to which a Corresponding Node (CN) is connected, to the first HCA, wherein the information on the third HCA comprises an identifier (ID) of the CN, a home address (HoA) of the CN, a Care-of-Address (CoA) of the third HCA, and information on a flow selector for transmissions to the CN, and wherein a Network Access Identifier (NAI) is used as the ID of the CN; and sending a location notification message, comprising information on the first HCA to which the flow will be moved and to which the MN is connected, to the third HCA.
