Abstract:
A method for generating a packet connection between a remote host on a first network and a mobile station on a mobile network, comprising the steps of:receiving a packet connection request from the remote host to the mobile station at a gateway packet mobile switching center;performing a first three-way handshake routine between the remote host and the gateway packet mobile switching center of the mobile network in response to the packet connection request from the remote host to the mobile station, said step of performing further comprising the steps of;transmitting an initiation packet from the remote host to the gateway packet mobile switching center to initiate a packet connection;transmitting a response packet from the gateway packet mobile switching center to the remote host in response to the initiation packet; andtransmitting the acknowledge response from the remote host to the gateway packet mobile switching center in response to the response packet;buffering transmissions of the first three-way handshake routine from the remote host at the gateway packet mobile switching center of the mobile network;performing a second three-way handshake routine between the gateway packet mobile switching center and the mobile station, wherein transmissions from the gateway packet mobile during the second three-way handshake routine comprise the buffered transmissions from the first three-way handshake routine; andestablishing the packet connection between the remote host and the mobile station upon completion of the second three-way handshake routine.
