Patent ID: 8626161

Claim:
A method that facilitates enabling multiple address access between two or more networks, comprising: attaching a user equipment (UE) to a first network with a proxy mobile Internet Protocol (PMIP) registration to a home agent related to the UE; attaching the UE to a second network with a PMIP registration to the home agent while maintaining registration of the first network, wherein the home agent is configured to communicate with both the first network and the second network; determining whether the PMIP registration with the home agent has expired; enabling the UE to move between the first network and the second network in an idle mode if the PMIP registration has not expired, wherein the idle mode is a mode in which no signaling is generated; receiving a portion of data, the portion of data is at least one of a downlink data packet targeted for the UE or an uplink data packet from the UE; and transmitting the portion of data to the UE within one of the first network or the second network, the network to which the UE resides is identified by at least one of an active mode indication received from the UE or a page response received from the UE.
