| 20090318145 | PUSH MECHANISM FOR INFORMATION SERVICES IN IEEE 802.21 MEDIA INDEPENDENT HANDOVER - A push mechanism for IEEE 802.21 media independent handover (MIH) information services (IS) is provided to push information to MIH users. Alternatively, an indication may be provided that information is available, and a pull mechanism may then be implemented to retrieve the information. | 12-24-2009 |
| 20090325581 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DYNAMIC MOBILE PROFILE FUNCTIONALITY - A method and apparatus provide dynamic mobile profile functionality in a media independent handover. This may include an MIH server dynamically changing a mobile profile in an MIH client. | 12-31-2009 |
| 20100054135 | IP MOBILITY FOR DEVICES WITH MULTIPLE RADIOS - A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) includes a mobility management function and a multihoming function. The mobility management function may implement the Media Independent Handover (MIH) protocol and the multihoming function may implement the Shim | 03-04-2010 |
| 20100189044 | MULTI-NODE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND METHOD OF REQUESTING, REPORTING AND COLLECTING DESTINATION-NODE-BASED MEASUREMENTS AND ROUTE-BASED MEASUREMENTS - A multi-node communication system and method used to request, report and collect destination-node-based measurements and route-based measurements is disclosed. The communication system may be a mesh network including a plurality of mesh points (MPs). In one embodiment, a destination-node-based measurement request is sent to one or more destination nodes via destination-unicast, destination-multicast, or destination-broadcast, using routes specified via next-hop-unicast, next-hop-multicast, or next-hop-broadcast addressing. In another embodiment, a source node sends a measurement request message to a final destination node, whereby each node along the route individually sends a measurement report message to the source node. Alternatively, measurement results of each node are combined and appended to the measurement request message, and a measurement report message including the combined measurement results is sent to the source node. | 07-29-2010 |
| 20100208698 | DATA FLOW MOBILITY - A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may communicate using a data flow that is defined according to flow identification information (FII). The WTRU may participate in the transfer of the data flow between access networks of diverse radio access technologies. The WTRU may communicate with a mobility function to obtain access network and mobility policy information. The mobility function may be, for example, an Access Network Discovery Function (ANDSF). The mobility policy information may describe the conditions by which the transfer of data flows between access networks may be permitted. | 08-19-2010 |
| 20100246532 | WIRELESS COMMUNICATION METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR IMPLEMENTING MEDIA INDEPENDENT HANDOVER BETWEEN TECHNOLOGICALLY DIVERSIFIED ACCESS NETWORKS - A wireless communication method and device may be used to perform a media independent handover between technologically diversified access networks. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may be configured to communicate with a plurality of technologically diversified access networks, such as Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.X networks and Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) networks. The WTRU may include a plurality of access network specific protocol stacks and a media independent handover (MIH) function. The WTRU may be configured to communicate information with each of the plurality of access network specific protocol stacks using protocols specific to each to the plurality of access network protocol stacks. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20100284291 | MOBILITY MANAGEMENT WITH DOWNLINK-ONLY WIRELESS NETWORKS - A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may include a media application that receives data from a media server via a link on a downlink (DL) -only radio access network. The link on the DL-only radio access network may be handed over to a second DL-only radio access network. A mobility management server, such as a Media Independent Handover (MIH) server, may communicate with the WTRU via a second radio access network that is a bidirectional radio access network to facilitate the handover. MIH messages may include fields that relate to DL-only radio access technologies may be used to facilitate handover of a DL-only link. Further, MIH broadcast or multicast messages may be used to facilitate the handover of a DL-only link. | 11-11-2010 |
| 20100302968 | COMMUNICATION ACCESS TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT - A method and apparatus are disclosed for communication access technology management. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may evaluate end-to-end connection performance by sending a connection ECHO message and receiving a connection ECHO response. The connection performance may be evaluated for a connection including multiple transmission paths, and for multiple connections. The WTRU may establish or modify a multihoming communication session with a mobility server using a plurality of connections. Each connection may be established using a different interface. | 12-02-2010 |
| 20110110286 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MULTICAST MOBILITY - A method and an apparatus for a proxy mobile Internet protocol (PMIP) supporting a dedicated multicast local mobility anchor (LMA) and mobile access gateway (MAG) is provided. The LMA assigns an Internet Protocol (IP) address to a wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) that processes the IP address and sends a router solicitation message to a serving MAG. A WTRU is disclosed to receive a first IP address that is for unicast service and a second IP address that is for multicast services. Generally, the method and apparatus proposes architecture, interfaces, and procedures to enable multicast mobility using Proxy Mobile IP. More specifically operations of aggregated PMIP tunnels for multicast services are described. Multicast mobility is enabled when mobile nodes move from one MAG to another MAG, intra-LMA, and inter-LMA. And, Multicast mobility is enabled between bidirectional network and downlink only multicast network in a hybrid network. | 05-12-2011 |
