Method and system for updating and retrieving state information for mobile nodes in a communication network

摘要

A method for updating and retrieving information for one or more nodes includes sending an update of at least a first indicator from at least a first node of a group of nodes to a home agent. Each of the group of nodes is associated with the home agent and corresponds to at least one of a plurality of indicators. The plurality of indicators is related to an internet protocol and includes the first indicator. The method further includes sending a request to the home agent for group node information that is associated with at least information related to the plurality of indicators corresponding to the group of nodes. Additionally, the method includes receiving the group node information from the home agent and transferring the group node information to one or more applications capable of accessing all the group of nodes. Moreover, the method includes sending one or more communication messages to at least a second node of the group of nodes via the one or more applications without using the home agent for routing.

1. A method for updating information for one or more mobile nodes, the method comprising:
electronically receiving an update for at least a first indicator from at least a first mobile node, the first mobile node belonging to a group of mobile nodes, each of the group of mobile nodes corresponding to at least one of a plurality of indicators, the plurality of indicators being related to an internet protocol (IP) and including the first indicator, the at least one of the plurality of indicators being associated with mobility of the each of the group of mobile nodes, wherein the first indicator from the first mobile node comprises mobility binding information for the first mobile node; electronically processing information associated with the update; electronically receiving a request from a second mobile node for group node information, the second mobile node corresponding to one or more of the plurality of indicators, the group node information being associated with at least information related to the plurality of indicators corresponding to the group of mobile nodes; determining whether the second mobile node is authorized to receive the group node information; and if the second mobile node is determined to be authorized, electronically sending to the second mobile node the group node information, the group node information including the mobility binding information for the first mobile node, wherein the first mobile node and the second mobile node are different mobile nodes.
