Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: intercepting a lookup request from a first mobile node associated with a first mobile scheme for a first mobile network; retrieving control information for a second mobile node associated with a second mobile scheme for a second mobile network based on the lookup request, wherein the control information is retrieved from a control plane in which the first mobile node and the second mobile node are registered; forwarding the control information to the first mobile node; establishing a data plane between the first mobile node and the second mobile node; intercepting packets exchanged between the first mobile node and the second mobile node; dynamically selecting and applying a combination of data protection schemes for a message layer, a Layer 4 (L4) transport layer, a network layer, a link layer and a physical layer; negotiating end-to-end parameters between the first mobile node and the second mobile node using the dynamically selected data protection schemes; translating packets from the first mobile scheme to the second mobile scheme to leverage one or more capabilities for the second mobile scheme that are unavailable for the first mobile scheme, wherein at least one of the first mobile node and the second mobile node is an on-board unit for a vehicle and wherein at least one of the first mobile scheme and the second mobile scheme is associated with a Layer 4 (L4) transport protocol; and tracking location information for at least one of the first mobile node and the second mobile node based on registration updates in the control plane for at least one of the first mobile node and the second mobile node.
