SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR COMMUNICATIONS DEVICE AND NETWORK COMPONENT OPERATION

摘要

Provided are a system and method for a communications device and network component operation in an ID/Locator Split Based heterogeneous network. A method for control node operation includes receiving an attach request from a communications node to attach to a heterogeneous network, and attempting to authenticate/authorize the communications node. The method also includes if the communications node was authenticated/authorized successfully, causing an identification and a location to be assigned for the communications node, completing an attachment for the communications node, and transmitting information to the communications node. The method further includes if the communications node was not authenticated/authorized successfully, sending an attach rejection message to the communications node. The identification and the location are separate values.
