Abstract

See full text

A method is proposed, for use e.g. in the context of WiMAX networks supporting the CMIPv6 function, for allowing the ASN-GW to become aware of the status of a control procedure, the CMIPv6 mobility binding procedure. The ASN-GW is not directly aware of its result since the procedure implies a message exchange at the U-Plane level, where the ASN-GW implements only a routing function. Nevertheless the ASN-GW needs to know the status of the procedure since it has to perform some subsequent actions depending on that status. The method includes signalling the status via a signalling mechanism between the Access Service Network and the Connectivity Service Network, thus avoiding packet inspection at the U-plane by the Access Service Network Gateway.
