<p>The present invention provides a relocation of content sources (111, 119) that provide media content to a mobile terminal (mobile node) (105) when a network layer-level handoff occurs. The relocation of content sources (111, 119) enables the mobile terminal (105) to seamlessly execute an application that utilizes the media content from a current content source (111) before the handoff and from a new content source (119) after the handoff. The mobile terminal (105) registers with a current access router (109) in order to inform the access router about application context information. The current access router (109) informs the new access router (117) about the impending handoff. The new access router (117) consequently discovers the new content source (119).</p> |
