The present invention uses a message with a suspend/resume flag setting sent to the local mobility anchor from the foreign agent that was supporting downlink transmissions to the mobile node. Namely, a transient binding option is proposed for creating a transient BCE state at the home agent/local mobility anchor during an inter-MAG handover, which will suspend down-link traffic from the home agent/local mobility anchor until the transient BCE (suspend) state is cleared by the foreign agent previ-ously supporting downlink transmissions. After the transient BCE (suspend) state is cleared, the downlink traffic from the home agent/local mobility anchor can resume with forwarding of downlink traffic to the mobile node through the foreign agent. The present invention can be implemented using a new protocol application or modified messages from prior registration applications. |
