COMMUNICATION CONTROL METHOD, COMMUNICATION NODE, AND MOBILE NODE

摘要

A technique is disclosed in which an MN (mobile node) 100 notifies, to a CN (correspondent node), home network connection information indicative of whether or not it is currently in connection with a home network which has allocated its own plurality of HoAs (home addresses), an address of each HA (home agent) and an ID of each HA in a state associated with the plurality of HoAs. Based on the information received from the MN, the CN grasps the home network with which the MN is currently in connection and makes an inquiry about the condition of the HA and sets an appropriate HoA, judged on the basis of the grasping result or the inquiry result, as a destination address of a packet to be transmitted to the MN.

主权项

1. An integrated circuit comprising circuitry which, in operation, controls a process of a mobile node comprising a plurality of communication interfaces operable to connect to a home network and a foreign network, the process comprising:
generating a binding update message when at least one of the plurality of communication interfaces is additionally connected to the home network while another communication interface is already connected to the foreign network, wherein a mobility option having a flag is included in the generated binding update message and a care-of address field in the generated binding update message is set to a home address of the mobile node; and at least one output node coupled to the circuitry which, in operation, outputs the generated binding update message for transmission to a communication node.
