Assignee:

Marvell World Trade Ltd. - St. Michael

International Classification:

H04L 29/06

US Classification:

370338

Abstract:

A media access gateway comprises a wireless network interface, an authorization module, a filter information module, and a proxy mobility agent module. The wireless network interface selectively establishes a wireless link with a first interface of a wireless terminal that has a plurality of wireless interfaces. The authorization module determines a home agent corresponding to the wireless terminal. The filter information module receives filter information from one of the wireless terminal and a server and generates output filter information. The proxy mobility agent module transmits a binding update to the home agent. The binding update includes the output filter information.

H04W 4/00

US Classification:

370338, 370389, 709220

Abstract:

A wireless terminal comprises a wireless network interface, an address determination module, and an application module. The wireless network interface receives N address assignment messages over a wireless link, where N is an integer greater than zero. The address determination module extracts a plurality of address components from the N address assignment messages and associates the plurality of address components with a plurality of packet data networks. The application module selectively exchanges packets with one of the plurality of packet data networks based on an associated one of the plurality of address components.

Fan Zhao - San Jose CA, US
Stefano Faccin - Hayward CA, US
Ameya Damle - Santa Clara CA, US

Assignee:

Marvell International Ltd. - Hamilton

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709230, 709237

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for performing a detach procedure between a first device and a second device. The method includes receiving, at a first device, an informational exchange message to delete an IP security association between the first device and a second device. The informational exchange message further includes a notify message indicating that the deletion of the IP security association is due to a detach request. In response to the notify message indicating that the deletion of the IP security association is due to the detach request, the method further includes automatically deleting, at the first device, a mobility related state associated with the host-based mobility protocol.

International Classification:

H04Q 7/20

US Classification:

455438, 455439, 455436, 370331

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for performing a handover of a communication session from a non-3GPP access network to a 3GPP access network in which only a Gn/Gp-based Serving GPRS Support Node has been deployed in the 3GPP access network. The method includes establishing the communication session between a user equipment and an Evolved Packet Core through the non-3GPP access network, and performing a handover of the communication session from the non-3GPP access network to the 3GPP access network. Performing the handover includes providing information to the UE of a selected packet data network gateway prior to performing the handover, and providing the information of the selected packet data network gateway from the user equipment to the 3GPP access network during the handover to maintain continuity of the communication session between the user equipment and the Evolved Packet Core.

US Classification:

370331, 3703952, 370401, 455437, 455439

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for performing a handover of network connections upon a mobile terminal moving from a first access network to a second access network. The method includes obtaining IP connectivity and a first IP address for the mobile terminal through the first access network. In response to the mobile terminal moving from the first access network to the second access network, the method further includes sending a request for a new IP connectivity and a second IP address over the second access network, the request indicating a need to handover the network connections from the first access network to the second access network.

Marvell International Ltd. - Hamilton

International Classification:

H04W 4/00

US Classification:

370328

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for encrypting a home address of a mobile node, in which the mobile node implements a host-based mobility protocol during wireless communications with a home agent. The method includes applying an encryption algorithm on the home address to generate an encrypted home address, and placing the encrypted home address within a destination option of a payload packet. The payload packet is sent by the mobile node while away from a home network associated with the mobile node.
