1. A method for mobile node operations, the method comprising:
establishing, by a mobile node, a first radio interface having:
a transport layer;a first link layer below the transport layer, anda first physical layer below the first link layer and having an active connection to a first point of attachment in a first radio network; communicating, by the mobile node, with the first point of attachment in the first radio network through the first radio interface tuned to the first radio network; determining to participate in a handover from the first point of attachment to a second point of attachment in a second radio network; establishing, by the mobile node, a second radio interface having:
a second link layer to communicate with the second point of attachment in the second radio network, anda second physical layer below the second link layer, wherein the second physical layer does not communicate with the second point of attachment prior to the handover; encapsulating, by the mobile node, a first link-layer frame from the second link layer in the second radio interface within a media independent control frame; and transmitting, by the mobile node, the media independent control frame with the first link-layer frame from the second link layer in the second radio interface encapsulated therein to the second point of attachment in the second radio network using the transport layer of the first radio interface tuned to the first radio network. |
