LOCATION MANAGEMENT IN A CONNECTION-ORIENTED PACKET NETWORK

摘要

The invention relates to a connection-oriented packet network comprising hierarchically arranged peer groups (1, 2, 3) and at least one home data base, a temporary location information in the home data base comprising an address of a peer group in which a mobile terminal or mobile subscriber is last registered. A set-up message is routed to a destination peer group according to the temporary location information. Each member in a peer group has information for routing the set-up message forward to a mobile terminal within the peer group.
