METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PREVENTING MISROUTING OF DATA IN A RADIO COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

A method, and associated apparatus (28), prevents misrouting of packet-data in a radio communication system (10) subsequent to an abnormal communication session termination by a wireless host (14). When a determination is made that a communication session between a wireless host and another host (12) has terminated abnormally, a temporary address (76) used to identify the wireless host is not permitted to be immediately reassigned to identify another wireless host. Misrouting of data to another wireless host subsequent to the abnormal communication session, termination is thereby avoided.
