<p>A mechanism for selecting a serving network access entity for a mobile node in a communication system including network access entities broadcasting periodic advertisement messages. The method utilizes a waiting period measured from a first reference moment. When no advertisement message is received within the waiting period from the network access entity being currently the serving network access entity for the mobile node, the node issues a router solicitation message and initiates a measurement of a solicitation period from a second reference moment. The mobile node further monitors whether a response to the router solicitation message is received from the network access entity within the solicitation period, and based on the monitoring step decides whether it remains connected to the said network access entity.</p> |
