COMBINING IP AND CELLULAR MOBILITY

摘要

The invention proposes a system for providing mobility to a terminal through at least two different mobility protocols, wherein a mobility gateway and a terminal share a common mobility session, said common mobility session can be updated through any of the said different mobility protocols, and each mobility protocol provides information to the terminal related to all other mobility protocol during a registration. The invention also proposes a corresponding gateway, a terminal and method.

主权项

1. An apparatus comprising:
at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one processor, the at least one memory, and the computer program code configured to cause the apparatus to at least: support a plurality of different connection session types, wherein the plurality of different connection session types comprise mobility protocols including at least one of a general packet radio service tunneling protocol and a mobile internet protocol; provide a connection session between the apparatus and a terminal via a first mobility protocol; identify the connection session by associating a parameter with the connection session, wherein the parameter comprises a mobility session identifier; and provide to the terminal information for configuring a second mobility protocol via the connection session using the first mobility protocol.
