Method for assigning internet protocol (IP) address to wireless terminal incapable of accessing mobile communication network, and mobile communication terminal capable of implementing the same

摘要

A method and mobile communication terminal for assigning an IP address are discussed. In one embodiment, the mobile communication terminal includes a mobile network interface configured to access a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server over the mobile communication network, and to download a DHCP server software program from the DHCP server, so that the mobile communication terminal can serve as a pseudo-DHCP server for at least one wireless terminal capable of accessing the mobile communication terminal.
