ROUTING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR SUPPORTING MUTUAL ROAMING BETWEEN MOBILE INTERNET PROTOCOL AND COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

PURPOSE: A routing device supporting a mutual roaming between a mobile IP(Internet Protocol) and a communication system is provided to basically mount a support function for the mobile IP protocol, and to adopt same routers to each system, so as to support a mobility of a terminal and a mutual roaming between each communication system, and to support a data exchange function of an IP(Internet Protocol) layer. CONSTITUTION: A mobile IP(Internet Protocol) supporting block(102) supports a roaming between a mobile IP and a communication system. FAs(Foreign Agents)(104,107) store register information of a terminal. HAs(Home Agents)(105,108) store an FA internet address of a terminal visiting an other region as a care-of address. A switching block(101) is connected to the IP supporting block(102), the FAs(104,107), and the HAs(105,108), and performs a data exchanging function with an exterior. A wireless communication protocol block(103) is connected with the switching block(101) to support a wireless communication protocol, and is connected with the mobile IP supporting block(102) to support a roaming between communication systems. VLRs(Visitor Location Registers)(106,107) are connected with the wireless communication protocol supporting block(103), and store register information of the terminal visiting the other region, A HLR(Home Location Register)(110) is connected with the wireless communication protocol supporting block(103), and stores terminal information.
