Title: Readdressing a packet transmitted by a roaming mobile subscriber unit in order to reduce required signalling
Inventor: HANCOCK ROBERT
IPC: G06F7/00
Filed: 2002-07-01
Abstract: A communication network 1 includes a number of network nodes, including anchor nodes 8 and 9, access nodes 5, 6, gateway nodes 10, 11 and 12 and mobile nodes 4 (mobile subscriber unit, node b, or mobile phone). When a mobile node accesses the network it is allocated a network address and a specific anchor node is assigned to support connections to the mobile node. The specific anchor node advertises this so that nodes wishing to direct packets to the mobile node 4 do so by directing the to the specific anchor node. When the mobile node 4 transmits a packet to the network via an access node, the access node encapsulates the packet with a header including as the destination the mobile node's address, which is then automatically routed to the anchor node assigned to the mobile node. The anchor node then de-encapsulates the packet and transmits the original packet to the network and on to its desired destination. This automatic routing to the specific anchor node reduces the signalling required to update the network as the mobile node moves across the network.
