A system for handing off a mobile node includes a mobile node and a target foreign agent. To effectuate a handoff of the mobile node from an anchor foreign agent to the target foreign agent, a tunnel can be established therebetween such that data packet(s) sent between the mobile node and a correspondent node pass between the target foreign agent and the anchor foreign agent through the tunnel. After the tunnel is established, the mobile node can register with the target foreign agent to thereby bind the mobile node to the target foreign agent such that data packet(s) sent between the mobile node and the correspondent node pass through the target foreign agent to the correspondent node independent of the anchor foreign agent and the tunnel. Thereafter, the target foreign agent can close the tunnel between the target foreign agent and the anchor foreign agent.

A method and apparatus to search for a traffic channel in a multi-carrier spread spectrum communication network. In this first embodiment, all three pilot signals are transmitted with equal power from the base station. The remote station can noncoherently combine the received energy of all three-pilots on a time hypothesis. This will reduce the value of M (the noncoherent accumulation time) by a factor of three. Thus the mean acquisition time is shortened by a factor of three with the same probability of detection and false alarm as a signal carrier (1x) system, if each pilot is equivalent to a 1x pilot in power. Note that the number of operations (i.e., complexity) is the same as that for a 1x system, but the time elapsed is shortened by a factor of 3.

In a routing process based on contents of a communication, there is a problem that it is required to carry out switching to refer to the contents every switch on a route or use a routing label. In order to solve the problem, a relay unit terminates data from a transmission source terminal and transfers the contents to a network controller. The network controller assigns flow data which is necessary for relay and issues a flow transfer instruction to a switch. The assigned flow data is notified to the relay unit and the relay unit sets a communication flow to a destination terminal by using the specified flow data, and relays the data to the destination terminal from the transmission source terminal.

In optical transmission schemes of the related art, there is a problem of delay dependency on an overhead or a flow size. In a DC network and a supercomputer network, an OCS scheme and an OPS scheme remain in an examination stage. A network of the electrical packet switching is still a main stream. In a scheme of sharing links using a dedicated wavelength, a considerable number of wavelengths is also necessary to provide full connectivity. The number of wavelengths cannot be realized and an unrealistic number considering the usable number of wavelengths such as current used C bands. In an optical network and an optical transmission system of the present invention, burst mode data transmission in which a label-based switching on an exclusively reserved dedicated wavelength is used is performed. Each node has a uniquely allocated wavelength, and thus traffics coexisting in all the network nodes do not collide. By using an optical label processor, an overhead time for establishing links between nodes is unnecessary. Reuse of the same wavelength results in further decrease in the number of wavelengths.
