METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ADDRESSING A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION STATION WITH A DYNAMICALLY-ASSIGNED ADDRESS

摘要

A method, and associated apparatus, for providing a wireless communication station (52) with a dynamically-assigned address which provides a temporary address to route data to the wireless communications station (52). A temporary address is assigned to the wireless communication station (52) to permit data, such as packet data, to be communicated between the wireless communication station (52) and a correspondent host (54). Once communication with the wireless communication station (52) is terminated, the temporary address can be reassigned and reused pursuant to subsequent communications with another wireless communication station.
