Roaming method
ActiveUS20060052100A1Intermediate rollback of EF<sub>LOCI </sub>can be avoidedSubstation equipmentRadio/inductive link selection arrangementsTelecommunicationsForeign network
The method relates to the management of roaming of mobile subscribers between a home network and foreign networks. The roaming behavior of a mobile terminal is based on roaming settings in the form of contents of different control files saved in the mobile terminal of the subscribers. A first file contains a list of networks to be used in a priority order in a roaming situation and a second file contains information about the last network the subscriber was registered in. The method starts with roaming of the subscriber from one network to another network, and checking the current roaming setting for the subscriber. If the network that the subscriber roamed into does not correspond to the highest priority network, the subscriber is moved to a preferred network corresponding to the priority order of said list.

Security framework for an IP mobility system using variable-based security associations and broker redirection
InactiveUS7174018B1Improve securityPromote large-scale roamingWireless network protocolsSecret communicationService-level agreementSecurity association
In an IP-based mobile communications system, the Mobile Node changes its point of attachment to the network while maintaining network connectivity. Security concerns arise in the mobile system because authorized users are subject to the following forms of attack: (1) session stealing where a hostile node hijacks session from mobile node by redirecting packets, (2) spoofing where the identity of an authorized user is utilized in an unauthorized manner to obtain access to the network, and (3) eavesdropping and stealing of data during session with authorized user. No separate secure network exists in the IP-based mobility communications system, and therefore, it is necessary to protect information transmitted in the mobile system from the above-identified security attacks.The present invention improves the security of communications in a IP mobile communications system by creating variable-based Security Associations between various nodes on the system, a Virtual Private Network supported by an Service Level Agreement between various foreign networks and a home network, and an SLA Broker to promote large-scale roaming among different SLAs supported by the SLA Broker or agreements with other SLA Brokers.

Temporary unique private address
InactiveUS6856624B2Time-division multiplexData switching by path configurationPrivate IPTelecommunications
A communication network providing mobile IP services to mobile nodes sharing the same private IP address. A mobile node visits a foreign network from its home network and transmits a registration request including its private IP address to a foreign agent on the foreign network. If the foreign agent determines that another mobile node with a valid registration shares the same private IP address, the foreign agent requests the mobile node to use a temporary address. The temporary address is sent along with the registration request to the registering mobile node's home agent. When the home agent receives a packet addressed to its mobile node, it creates two tunnels. An outer tunnel is created using a care-of address associated with the foreign agent. An inner tunnel is created using the temporary address assigned to mobile node. The packet is then forwarded via the two tunnels. Upon receipt of the tunneled packet by the foreign agent, it de-tunnels the outer tunnel to uncover the inner tunnel, and forwards the inner tunnel to the mobile node. The mobile node de-tunnels the inner tunnel to recover the original packet.

Foreign network SPAM blocker
A method involves blocking unsolicited e-mail being transmitted from a remote server when a roaming customer of the ISP logs onto the Internet through the foreign NAS. The roaming customer first logs onto the ISP through the foreign NAS by providing a user identification (USERID) and password, which are sent to the ISP. The ISP uses the USERID and the password to authenticate the roaming customer as a valid subscriber of the ISP. An IP address is assigned by the foreign NAS to the roaming customer and is dynamically added to a pool of IP addresses used by the mail server. The roaming customer can then log onto the mail server to send and receive email messages. Once the roaming customer terminates the session, the IP address assigned to the roaming customer is removed from the pool of valid IP address that can be used to access the mail server.

Micro-mobility network routing system and method
InactiveUS20050213545A1Lower latencyImprove smoothnessWireless network protocolsRadio/inductive link selection arrangementsMobile ip protocolIp address
A micro-mobility network routing system and method implementing a protocol that extends the macro mobility support of Mobile IP to support micro mobility is disclosed which permits a more efficient and easily implemented Internet routing protocol for network devices to be affected. The macro mobility feature herein refers to the notion in which the mobile node gains access to the Internet, while retaining the same IP address. This concept is used only once when the mobile node enters the coverage area of a foreign domain (eventually its home domain). The concept of micro mobility within this context eases routing packets to the mobile node while its moves within the foreign network. The present invention implements these new features via the use of message compositions and protocol extensions that extend the prior art Mobile IP protocols.

An authentication protocol can be used to establish a secure method of communication between two devices on a network. Once established, the secure communication can be used to authenticate a client through various authentication methods, providing security in environments where intermediate devices cannot be trusted, such as wireless networks, or foreign network access points. Additionally, the caching of session keys and other relevant information can enable the two securely communicating endpoints to quickly resume their communication despite interruptions, such as when one endpoint changes the access point through which it is connected to the network. Also, the secure communication between the two devices can enable users to roam off of their home network, providing a mechanism by which access through foreign networks can be granted, while allowing the foreign network to monitor and control the use of its bandwidth.
