Location managing method for managing location of mobile station in mobile wireless packet communication system and mobile wireless packet communication system
First Claim
1. A location managing method for managing a location of a mobile station in a mobile wireless packet communication system in which each of communication nodes down to a base station have a hierarchical structure, wherein:
- a route from a communication node positioned at a highest layer of the hierarchical structure to a base station of a cell in which a mobile station is located, is managed as location information of the mobile station, by being distributed to the communication node located at the highest layer of the hierarchical structure and to each of communication nodes in the route to the base station.
