Abstract  Abstract

The invention relates to novel methods and apparatus for providing transparent mobility in the network entity. The invention allows a given entity to peer entity communications path from one position to another position but not the mobile informs the peer entity and not destroying the communication channel. The invention can be applied to a decentralized network using IP protocol especially without introducing latency time and does not reduce network effective bandwidth of the network to the desired mobility mechanism. In the invention compared with other mobility model without increasing the waiting time does not increase bandwidth usage. In addition the invention uses the standard protocol from a plurality of equipment manufacturers on various platforms. Therefore the present invention is required to support the network provider of transparent mobility in the network provides a very low cost model.

The present invention is a novel method and apparatus for providing transparent mobility of an entity within a network. The present invention allows a given entity which has a communication path set up between it and a peer entity to move from one location to another without informing the peer entity of this movement and without having the communication path broken. The present invention is applicable to decentralized networks using the IP protocol and is particularly applicable on networks wherein it is desired that the mobility mechanism neither introduces latency nor decreases the available bandwidth of the network. In the present invention neither is latency increased nor is bandwidth utilization increased as is done in other mobility models. Additionally the present invention utilizes standard protocols that are widely available from a plurality of equipment manufacturers on a variety of platforms. Thus the present invention provides a very cost-effective model for network providers that need to support transparent mobility within their network.
