Abstract:
1. A method for controlling data interchange between mobile subscribers in a packet-oriented mobile communication network, comprising: managing each subscriber at a particular control network node in the mobile communication network on the basis of his respective current location in the mobile communication network, and controlling connections from/to a mobile communication terminal associated with the mobile subscriber within the mobile communication network by the appropriate control network node, wherein the control network node stores an address register containing all of the addresses associated with the mobile subscribers managed by the control network node, the control network node takes incoming data packets and reads a destination address associated with the data packets, and uses a search function to compare said destination address with the address register, if the destination address is present in the address register then the data packets are handled and forwarded within the mobile communication network exclusively by the control network node, and if the destination address is absent from the address register then the data packets are routed from the control network node to a further network node in the mobile communication network for the purpose of further handling.
