The mobility of terminals connected to an IP network through a radio interface is enabled by assigning a temporary IP address and a temporary address according to a protocol on a level below the IP level, such as a MAC address, to the mobile terminal, by which the mobile terminal may be identified for the duration of a connection, and storing said addresses in the base transceiver station. An apparatus, effectively an RNC, that will enable mobility in a packet switched communication network, is also disclosed, comprising a table of unique addresses on a level lower than the IP level, that may be used to identify a mobile terminal connected to the network temporarily for the duration of a connection, and means for dynamically assigning IP addresses that may be used to identify a mobile terminal connected to the network temporarily for the duration of a connection. |
