State synchronization of access routers

摘要

Embodiments describe synchronizing access routers with wireless terminal state information. According to an embodiment is a wireless terminal that transmits a message that includes an address for at least two access routers. State change information can optionally be included in the message. According to another embodiment is an access router that receives a state change notification from a wireless device or another access router. The state change notification is updated in the access router. An acknowledgment confirming the updated state change may be sent to the wireless terminal. Dynamic state synchronization is provided with minimal communication with wireless terminal.

主权项

1. A method for a state change synchronization with multi-party handshake, the method comprising:
sending, from a wireless terminal, a first message to a first access router, wherein the first message includes a first indicator that identifies the first access router and a second indicator that identifies a second access router; and receiving, at the wireless terminal, an acknowledgment of the first message from the second access router, wherein the wireless terminal is an end node, and wherein a state change is a change in a state of the wireless terminal, and the first message indicates that there is the state change.
