Abstract: A wireless network of a first type receives a request for network entry from a mobile station. A service continuity query is sent to a service node. A service continuity response is received from the service node. The service continuity response includes a network access identifier. The network access identifier is determined to be associated with an existing session on a wireless network of a second type. The existing session is using a mobile internet protocol address. On the wireless network of the first type, a session is assigned the mobile internet protocol address.

Abstract: An authorization system in a home wireless network comprises a communication interface and a processing system, wherein a wireless communication device associated with the home wireless network transfers a network service request to a service node to acquire a static packet address for the wireless communication device. The communication interface is configured to receive an authorization request for the wireless communication device, transfer a query for delivery to a user profile system, receive a packet address of a home agent associated with the wireless communication device, transfer an authorization response, and receive an authentication request transferred from the home agent. The processing system is configured to process the authentication request to determine the static packet address for the wireless communication device.
