Abstract: The present document describes a dynamic mobility management system. The disclosure describes a mobility management mechanism that is able to maintain the IP address assigned when a session was initiated in the user device to exchange data packets between the end-points of a given data service. This is possible through the management of the distributed mobility anchors, tunnels, interfaces and IP addresses, where a mobile node is configured to bind to the previously accessed mobility access router, such that the previously established network sessions of the mobile node are re-established through said previously accessed mobility access router. The disclosure is applied in the Information and Communication Technology domain, more precisely in the mobility management in communication networks.

Abstract: This invention discloses a photonic system to beamform the electric field yield by a phased array antenna. The system function relies on a photonic tunable delay line, which consists on an optical Mach-Zehnder interferometer with a predefined time delay difference between arms. The time delay is tuned by adjusting the coupling ratio between the power applied to each one of the interferometer's delay lines. Three embodiments are proposed, wherein one of them just uses a single delay line and a single monochromatic light source, independently of the quantity of the array elementary antennas.
