Methods, apparatus, systems and computer program products are defined that provide multiple bindings in a Mobile Internet Protocol (MIP) network environment. The multiple bindings that are established are independent of one another, such that a forward link binding is decoupled from, or otherwise does not affect, a reverse link binding and vice versa. Multiple reverse link-only bindings may be established within an active route set for an access terminal. Additionally a single primary binding may be estab-lished that provides a forward link binding and reverse link binding. At any point in time, the access terminal may maintain only one primary binding. The present invention for establishing multiple link bindings may be applied to communication networks such as an Ultra Mobile Broadband (UMB) network or any other network relying on Mobile Internet Protocol (MIP) for data transmission and/or signaling transmission. Other exemplary systems include CDMA (CDMA 2000, EV DO, WCDMA), OFDM, or OFDMA (Flash-OFDM, 802.20, WiMAX), FDMA/TDMA (GSM) systems using FDD or TDD licensed spectrums, peer-to-peer (e.g., mo-bile-to-mobile) ad hoc network systems often using unpaired unlicensed spectrums, and 8O2.xx wireless LAN or BLUETOOTH techniques.
