  • Publication number: 20060221921
    Abstract: A system is provided for prefix delegation with a pre-configured home agent, having a home address, and having a set of mobile router prefixes that are available to delegate to mobile routers. The transceiver of the home agent receives a prefix request option from a mobile router to request a prefix. The home agent assigns a prefix by combining a selected one of the set of mobile router prefixes with at least a part of the home address of the home agent, and sends the assigned prefix to the mobile router. Alternatively, the home agent assigns a prefix by combining a selected one of the set of mobile router prefixes with at least a part of the home address of the mobile router, and sends the assigned prefix to the mobile router.
