METHOD FOR ALLOCATING AT LEAST ONE ACCESS POINT TO A MOBILE TERMINAL IN A CELLULAR NETWORK, CORRESPONDING TERMINAL, MOBILITY SERVER AND PROGRAMMES

摘要

A method is provided for allocating at least one access point to a mobile terminal in a cellular network formed by multiple cells each controlled by an access point, wherein the mobile terminals move about. The method includes the following steps: locating a mobile terminal inside a current cell; identifying, using the locating, a target cell with which the terminal is likely to be connected; transmitting in advance to the terminal a target context, comprising at least one identifier of the access point of the target cell; implementing a procedure for connecting said terminal to the access point of the target cell, based on predetermined cell modification criterion.
