HANDOFF OF AN ACCESS TERMINAL AT THE NETWORK LAYER IN AN ACCESS NETWORK

摘要

An apparatus for accessing an access network includes a processing system configured to maintain an active set comprising a plurality of network functions, the processing system being further configured to support a handoff of a network layer attachment point from a first one of the network functions to a second one of the network functions by sending a message to each of the network functions which identifies the second one of the network functions as a target of the handoff and performing a binding update for the second one of the network functions with a home agent.
