Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed is a method for selecting and managing a mobility protocol between a network and a terminal in a mobile communication system. When the terminal is to setup an IP tunnel for data transmission/reception with the network supporting a plurality of mobility protocols, firstly, the terminal is configured to transmit a list of terminal-supported mobility protocols and/or its preference information (e.g., information about mobility protocol preferred by the terminal) to the network, and secondly, the network is configured to determine (select) a mobility protocol of an IP tunnel for data transmission/reception with the terminal based on the information, thereby enhancing an efficiency of the resource when the IP tunnel is setup between the terminal and the network.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for managing a protocol by a network node in a mobile communication system, the method comprising: receiving, by the Network node, from a terminal that supports Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) and non-3GPP communications, a message requesting an authentication process for a non-3GPP access network from a 3GPP access network, when the terminal attaches to the non-3GPP access network or hands over into the non-3GPP access network; wherei…
