Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In a telecommunications system ( 20 ) a transport network ( 26 ) for connecting a wireless access network ( 22 ) to a backbone network ( 24 ), an example embodiment of an overlay mobile network ( 40 ) comprises a point-to-multipoint tunnel having tunnel segments formed in a tree topology and being configured to direct traffic to a mobile node ( 30 ). The overlay mobile network ( 40 ) further comprises mobility aware routers ( 44 ) of the transport network ( 40 ), the mobility aware routers ( 44 ) serving as nodes of the tree topology of the tunnel and being configured to perform mobility functions such as mobility routing and layer 3 (L3) address assignment. These mobility functions interact in a mobility control and management plane.
