Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method is provided in one example embodiment and includes invoking a mobile access gateway function based on an end user requesting an Internet Protocol (IP) address in a wireless or a wireline network. The invocation is selective such that the mobile access gateway function is invoked if the end user requires IP mobility services. The method also includes communicating with a gateway in order to obtain the IP address. The mobile access gateway function is coupled to a network element that receives packets for a communications flow from the end user that can conduct the flow through the wireless network and through the wireline network.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for reducing Internet Protocol (IP) mobility overhead, comprising: receiving option information from a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server as part of an IP address assignment procedure, the option information identifying IP address ranges, subnets, and next-hop IP gateways for each service to which a device has access; deciding whether IP mobility services are needed based on the option information; invoking IP mobility services in…
