Abstract

Embodiments describe mobility management utilizing neighbor discovery and at least two pseudo wires. When a wireless device desires to handoff to a detected access router, such handoff may not be configured until such time as a current access router receives routing information of the target access router. In order to minimize handoff time, communication between the target access router and the wireless device can be through the current access router utilizing least two pseudo wires. Bidirectional neighbor discovery and create is conducted by the access routers allow subsequent wireless devices to automatically handoff between the access routers.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method of wireless communication operable by an access router, comprising:
receiving a report from a user equipment, the report identifying a target access router for a handover of the user equipment;
determining that the access router lacks a neighbor relation with the target access router;
sending a message to the user equipment upon determining that the access router lacks the neighbor relation with the target access router;
receiving a second mes…
