Abstract

A system can include an access router and a proxy mobile internet protocol aware client mobile internet protocol node. The access router can include a storage unit configured to store a local care-of-address. The access router can also include a sending unit configured to send the proxy mobile internet protocol aware client mobile internet protocol node the local care-of-address. The proxy mobile internet protocol aware client mobile internet protocol node can include a receiving unit configured to receive local care-of-address from an access router. The proxy mobile internet protocol aware client mobile internet protocol node can also include a processing unit configured to process the local care-of-address.

Claims (53)

1 . An apparatus, comprising:

a storage unit configured to store a local care-of-address; and

a sending unit configured to send a proxy mobile internet protocol aware client mobile internet protocol node the local care-of-address.

2 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the apparatus comprises an access router.

3 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the sending unit is configured to send the care-of-address in a router advertisement.

4 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the care-of-address is configured to permit the proxy mobile internet protocol aware client mobile internet protocol node to configure the care-of-address from the local address.

5 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the care-of-address is configured to permit avoidance of double-tunneling by the proxy mobile internet protocol aware client mobile internet protocol node.

6 . An apparatus, comprising:

a receiving unit configured to receive a local care-of-address from an access router; and

a processing unit configured to process the local care-of-address.

7 . The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the apparatus comprises a proxy mobile internet protocol aware client mobile internet protocol node.

8 . The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the receiving unit is configured to receive the care-of-address in a router advertisement.

9 . The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the care-of-address is configured to permit the apparatus to configure the care-of-address from the local address.

10 . The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the care-of-address is configured to permit avoidance of double-tunneling by the apparatus

11 . The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the apparatus is configured to configure the care-of-address from the local address.

12 . The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the apparatus is configured to set up a session without double-tunneling while in a proxy mobile internet protocol environment.

13 . A method, comprising:

storing a local care-of-address; and

sending a proxy mobile internet protocol aware client mobile internet protocol node the local care-of-address.

14 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the method is performed by an access router.

15 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the sending comprises sending the care-of-address in a router advertisement.

16 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the care-of-address is configured to permit the proxy mobile internet protocol aware client mobile internet protocol node to configure the care-of-address from the local address.

17 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the care-of-address is configured to permit avoidance of double-tunneling by the proxy mobile internet protocol aware client mobile internet protocol node.

18 . A method, comprising:

receiving a local care-of-address from an access router; and

processing the local care-of-address.

19 . The method of claim 18 , wherein the method is performed by a proxy mobile internet protocol aware client mobile internet protocol node.

20 . The method of claim 18 , wherein the receiving comprises receiving the care-of-address in a router advertisement.

21 . The method of claim 18 , wherein the care-of-address is configured to permit the apparatus to configure the care-of-address from the local address.

22 . The method of claim 18 , wherein the care-of-address is configured to permit avoidance of double-tunneling by the apparatus.

23 . The method of claim 18 , further comprising:

configuring the care-of-address from the local address

24 . The method of claim 18 , further comprising:

setting up a session without double-tunneling while in a proxy mobile internet protocol environment based on the care-of-address.

25 . A system, comprising:

an access router, comprising

a storage unit configured to store a local care-of-address, and

a sending unit configured to send the proxy mobile internet protocol aware client mobile internet protocol node the local care-of-address; and

the proxy mobile internet protocol aware client mobile internet protocol node, comprising

a receiving unit configured to receive the local care-of-address from the access router, and

a processing unit configured to process the local care-of-address.

26 . An apparatus, comprising:

storage means for storing a local care-of-address; and

sending means for sending a proxy mobile internet protocol aware client mobile internet protocol node the local care-of-address.

27 . An apparatus, comprising:

receiving means for receiving a local care-of-address from an access router; and

processing means for processing the local care-of-address.

28 . A computer program embodied on a computer-readable medium encoding instructions for performing:

storing a local care-of-address; and

sending a proxy mobile internet protocol aware client mobile internet protocol node the local care-of-address.

29 . A computer program embodied on a computer-readable medium encoding instructions for performing:

receiving a local care-of-address from an access router; and

processing the local care-of-address.
