Abstract: An electrical connector mating with a counterpart connector includes: an insulating housing having sidewalls and endwalls to define a receiving room and a number of contacts retained in the insulating housing. The contact has a first mating portion retained on an outer surface of the sidewall and a second mating portion retained on an inner surface of the sidewall to face the receiving room.

Abstract: A mobile node (MN), a take-over point of attachment (PoA) and handover methods thereof for use in a heterogeneous wireless network system are provided. The heterogeneous wireless network system comprises a gateway, a first wireless network and a second wireless network which is heterogeneous to the first wireless network. The first wireless network and the second wireless network comprise the take-over PoA and an original PoA respectively. The take-over PoA and the original PoA have an overlapping service area. The MN receives a network service from the gateway via the original PoA so far. As soon as the MN enters the overlap service area, the MN builds a link with the take-over PoA in the data-link layer immediately so that the original PoA may handover to the take-over PoA without interrupting the network service.

The heterogeneous wireless network system comprises a gateway. The WiMAX BS and the Wi-Fi AP can interchange messages with each other via the gateway. There is an overlap service area between the WiMAX BS and the Wi-Fi AP. The MN accepts a network service, which is provided by the gateway, via the WiMAX BS. When the MN enters the overlap service area, it may handover to the Wi-Fi AP without interrupting the network service so that the gateway may provide the network service for the MN via the Wi-Fi AP.
