  • Publication number: 20130124710
    Abstract: In the first embodiment, the mobile phone 20 obtains the PCID from the CCE 10, and sends the PCID and the IMSI of the USIM of the mobile phone 20 to the CAPS 50. The MCC+MNC part of the IMSI is later used as the operator identification information by the mediation server 30, which is operated by the RO, in order to identify the SHO for the CCE 10. The MSIN part of the IMSI is later used as the user identification information by the account managing server 40, which is operated by the SHO, in order to identify the user of the mobile phone 20. The mediation server 30 forwards the account request from the CCE 10 to the account managing server 40 of the SHO identified by the operator identification information. The account managing server 40 generates the MCIM that is associated with the user identified by the user identification information.

  • Patent number: 8437309
    Abstract: A method of facilitating multihoming in the case of a mobile node possessing an Upper Layer Identifier belonging to a home network, where the mobile node is assigned a Global Mobility Management anchor within the home network and a Local Mobility Management anchor within a visited network. The method comprises allocating to the mobile node a primary SHIM6 proxy at said Global Mobility Management anchor, and at least one secondary SHIM6 proxy at said Local Mobility Management anchor. At said primary SHIM6 proxy, a SHIM6 context is established on behalf of the mobile node in respect of a peer node; and the established context is shared with said secondary SHIM6 proxy. Locator switching is then performed in respect of traffic exchanged between the mobile node and said peer node at one of said primary and secondary SHIM6 proxies.

  • Patent number: 8189512
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for routing communications traffic in a Proxy Mobile IP communications network. A Mobile Node is attached to a first Proxy Mobile Agent, and an optimized route is established between the Mobile Node and a Corresponding Node via the first Proxy Mobile Agent. When the Mobile Node subsequently attaches to a second Proxy Mobile Agent, a determination is made that the Mobile Node is no longer attached to the first Proxy Mobile Agent. As a result of the determination a request is sent from the first Proxy Mobile Agent to the Corresponding Node to cancel the route optimization. In one embodiment, packets from the Corresponding Node are bi-cast from the Proxy Mobile Agent to the Home Agent and the Mobile Node. The Proxy Mobile Agent determines that the Mobile Node is no longer attached to if packets are not returned from the Home Agent.
