Patent ID: 7058017

Claim:
A method, for use in wireless Internet, which extends an established resource reservation path between a mobile host (MH) and a correspondent host (CH), the MH moving across cells, each of the cells having a base station (BS) therein and the established resource reservation path being made between the MH and the CH through an initial BS located in an initial cell where the MH is currently located, the method comprising the steps of: (a) establishing pseudo reservation paths (PRPs) between the initial BS and its neighboring BSs, one PRP being established between the initial BS and each of the neighboring BSs; (b) once the MH moves into one of the neighboring cells of the initial cell, activating a PRP established for a neighbor BS, the neighbor BS being located in said one of the neighboring cells, and concatenating the activated PRP with the established resource reservation path to thereby establish a concatenated path between the MH and the CH through the initial BS and the neighbor BS; and (c) establishing an optimized resource reservation path.
