PEER DISCOVERY, TARGET SELECTION, AND FLOW REPLICATION FOR INTER USER EQUIPMENT TRANSFERS

摘要

Systems, methods, and apparatus are described herein for enabling the transfer of media flow to user equipment (UE) in a network using a mobile IP (MIP) protocol. The media flow may be transferred among UEs that are members of the same group of UEs. UEs, Home Agents (HAs), and/or Session Controllers (SCs) may be implemented in the network to maintain each group and/or transfer media flow between members of the group of UEs. The media flow may be replicated before being sent to the members of the group of UEs. UEs, HAs, SCs, REPLICATORS, and/or Authorization Entities (AEs) may be implemented in replicating media flows as described herein.
