Abstract:
A method for tunneling data over an Internet Protocol (IP) network, comprising:(a) mapping a mobile identification number of a cellular transceiver in a cellular network to a dynamic pseudo-IP address, wherein the dynamic pseudo-IP address comprises an IP address of a component of the celluar network in communication with the cellular transceiver and a sub-index assigned to the cellular transceiver by the component, and the sub-index acts as an extension to the IP Address of the component, so that the cellular transceiver can be identified within the cellular network; and (b) facilitating communication between the cellular transceiver in the cellular network and another device on the IP network by tunneling the dynamic pseudo-IP address of the cellular transceiver to an IP address for the device.
