Abstract
Location registration information transmitted from a mobile node is notified to a home agent via a foreign agent, an AAAF, and an AAAH. Upon receipt of the location registration information, the AAAH extracts the service profile corresponding to the mobile node from a service control database, and edits the extracted profile into a format that is not dependent on a service type. The AAAH then distributes the edited service profile to the home agent and the foreign agent. The home agent and the foreign agent provide the service requested by the mobile node according to the distributed service profile.
