IP address allocation for mobile terminals.

摘要

A method of allocating an Internet Protocol (IP) address to a mobile wireless terminal within a mobile telecommunications network. During the establishment of the radio link between the terminal and the network, a negotiation is conducted to provide the mobile terminal with a host part for an IP address, where the host part is unique within the radio network. In the case of a UMTS network, the host part is the Radio Network Terminal Identity (RNTI).
