20100202383 | Method and apparatus for roaming between communications networks - There is provided a method of managing roaming of a Mobile Node in a Visited network. The Mobile Node is associated with a Home network. In the Visited network, a server selects a Gateway node for use by the Mobile Node based on selection criteria. The Gateway node is disposed between the Home network and the Visited network. The server then sends a message to an access node in the Visited network to which the Mobile Node is attached, the message identifying the selected Gateway node. This instructs the Mobile Node to communicate with its Home network via the selected Gateway Node. | 08-12-2010 |
20100226256 | PROXY MOBILE IP ROUTING - 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. | 09-09-2010 |

For the uplink packets embodiments include: converting, in a node in the first or the second network, the IP address of the uplink packets from a GHoA to an LHoA and routing, from the second node to the first node, any uplink packets being sent from the user equipment; so that the uplink packets will arrive at the corresponding node with a source address that is an LHoA. | 10-28-2010 |
20110202970 | Secure Access In A Communication Network - A method of providing secure access to a remote communication network via a local communication network for a terminal device. A gateway node located outside the local communication network allocates an IP address to the terminal device. The gateway node subsequently receives a request to establish a secure tunnel between the gateway node and the terminal device. It identifies the terminal device as the same terminal device to which an IP address is allocated, and allocates the same IP address for use by the terminal device as both an inner IP address and an outer IP address for packets sent via the secure tunnel. This ensures that there are no issues as described above in selecting the IP address for use in the secure tunnel, and reduces the risk of a successful man-in-the-middle attack. | 08-18-2011 |
