Patent number: 8199669Abstract: A service is transparently provided to a mobile terminal device without the mobile terminal device knowing an address of a service providing device or a device which relays a packet in a network. A packet between the service providing device which provides a service and a mobile terminal device 10 which receives the service is relayed by a mobility control node 21. An access router 12 inquires of another device about information on the mobility control node 21, and holds correspondence information between information obtained by an inquiry result and identification information of the mobile terminal device 10 in a table. Transfer of a packet between the mobile control node 21 and the mobile terminal device 10 is controlled based on the correspondence information held in the table. With this configuration, the network can transparently provide the service to the mobile terminal device without the mobile terminal device knowing the address of the device which relays the packet in the network.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2006Date of Patent: June 12, 2012Assignee: NTT DoCoMo, Inc.Inventors: Katsutoshi Nishida, Shin-ichi Isobe, Naoki Matsubara

Patent number: 8077648Abstract: There are provided a method, a network system, and a router capable of decreasing the chance of VRM or VLM changes so as to reduce signaling, and consequently contributing to better scalability. The method is applied to mobility management used in an IP-based network system, which contains a plurality of access routers (AR), location managers (LM) and routing managers (RM), through which a mobile node (MN) transmits and receives information. According to the method, a visited routing manager (VRM) where the MN is currently located monitors the MN, an AR currently communicating with the MN discriminates whether or not the MN is moving out of its connectivity range, and the VRM discriminates whether or not the MN is moving out of its control range. Then, the method switches mobility management over from the current AR to a new AR in accordance with the discrimination results, and switches mobility management over from the current VRM to a new VRM in accordance with the discrimination result.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2006Date of Patent: December 13, 2011Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (Publ)Inventors: Andras Valko, Zoltan Turanyi, Csaba Keszei, Atsushi Iwasaki, Katsutoshi Nishida
