Patent ID: 7995573

Claim:
A method for creating a communication link between a first mobile network node and a second mobile network node, the method comprising: checking at a first interface administration module of the first mobile network node for network interfaces that are available at the first mobile network node, the available network interfaces able to support different network standards; generating, at the first mobile network node, a first look-up table with available network interfaces and first configuration data for the available network interfaces of the first mobile network node, the first configuration data including communication parameters and security parameters; checking at a second interface administration module of the second mobile network node for network interfaces that are available at the second mobile network node; generating, at the second mobile network node, a second look-up table with available network interfaces and second configuration data for the available network interfaces of the second mobile network node, the second configuration data including communication parameters and security parameters; transmitting, after extracting the first configuration data from the first look-up table the first configuration data from the first mobile network node over a communication channel to a central unit; storing, in an accessible way in the central unit, the transmitted first configuration data; sending the first configuration data stored at the central unit from the central unit over a communication channel to the second mobile network node; creating a signaling channel by the second mobile network node, based on the received first configuration data and the second configuration data that is available at the second look-up table, by a signaling router module of the second mobile network node, between the first and second mobile network nodes by choosing a network interface that is available at both the first and second mobile network nodes; sending further configuration data over the signaling channel; and creating a data channel, based on the received first configuration data and the second configuration data, by a data router module of the second mobile network node, between the first and second mobile network nodes via the chosen network interface of said step of creating.
