Method for activating a communication terminal

摘要

A method and apparatus are provided for activating a communication terminal situated in a wireless communication network including a plurality of access nodes. The method includes: receiving, by an access node of the communication network, termed an anchor access node, at least one datum to be transmitted to the communication terminal; identifying, by the anchor access node, at least one access node to which the communication terminal was previously attached, termed a last known access node, on the basis of the datum to be transmitted; and transmitting to the at least one last known access node at least one activation datum destined for at least one communication interface of the terminal, making it possible to activate the terminal.

1. A method comprising:
activating a communication terminal comprising several communication interfaces corresponding to different communication technologies, said terminal being situated in a wireless communication network comprising a plurality of access nodes which implement different communication technologies, wherein activating comprises: receiving, by an access node of said communication network with which the terminal has performed an OSI level-2 attachment, termed an anchor access node, at least one datum to be transmitted to said communication terminal, wherein the terminal has previously obtained an IP address from the anchor access node; identifying, by said anchor access node, at least one access node to which said communication terminal was previously attached, termed a last known access node, on the basis of said datum to be transmitted; and transmitting, by said anchor access node to said at least one last known access node, at least one activation datum comprising the IP address and destined for at least one communication interface of said terminal, making it possible to activate said terminal.
