Patent ID: 7206299

Claim:
A terminal for conducting data communication with a server on a wide area network by being connected to a base transceiver station using radio communication through a base transceiver station segment to which the base transceiver station belongs, the terminal comprising: a radio network interface for connection using said radio communication; data communication processing means for conducting a process for the data communication; a temporary terminal address which changes when the radio network interface changes the base transceiver station segment to be connected from one to an other, and serving as an address for said radio network interface; and a terminal specific address which is constant when the radio network interface changes the base transceiver station segment to be connected from the one to the other, wherein the terminal specific address is used by the data communication processing means, wherein the terminal informs a data relay device, which serves for administrating a path for the data communication by exchanging path information for delivery of the communication data to a destination, of path information denoting a data communication path to the terminal specific address that goes through the temporary terminal address.
