Method and apparatus to provide efficient routing of packets for a network initiated data session
First Claim
1. A method to operate a wireless network with a mobile station MS, comprising:
- registering the MS with a correspondent node CN;
sending data from the CN to a Content Proxy Server identified by the MS; and
determining a current location of the MS with the Content Proxy Server, setting up a Point to Point Protocol PPP between the MS at its current location and the wireless network, and routing the data from the Content Proxy Server to the MS at its current location.

Abstract
A method is disclosed to operate a wireless network (20) with a MS (100) and includes, registering the MS with a correspondent node CN (99); sending data from the CN to a Content Proxy Server (95) identified by the MS; and determining a current location of the MS with the Content Proxy Server, setting up a Point to Point Protocol PPP between the MS at its current location and the wireless network, and routing the data from the Content Proxy Server to the MS at its current location. Registering includes sending a Network Access Identifier NAI of the MS and an Internet Protocol IP address of the Content Proxy Server to the CN from the MS, where the data sent from the CN to the Content Proxy Server includes the NAI, and where the Content Proxy Server determines the current location of the MS by sending a query to a home Authentication, Authorization and Accounting AAA server (80), the query comprising the NAI.

- 12. A wireless network comprising a mobile station MS operable for registering the MS with a correspondent node CN, said wireless network coupled to a Content Proxy Server, said CN sending data to said Content Proxy Server that is identified by the MS when registering with the CN, said Content Proxy Server operating to determine a current location of the MS and to initiate setting up a Point to Point Protocol PPP between the MS and the wireless network at its current location and to route the data from the Content Proxy Server to the MS at its current location.
-
14. A wireless network as in claim 112, where said MS is further responsive to detecting that the MS has changed its location in the wireless network to register said MS with a base station BS to indicate the current location of said MS;
- and said wireless network, in response to the MS registering with the BS, triggering the sending of messages in the wireless network until information that is indicative of the current location of the MS is recorded by an Authentication, Authorization and Accounting AAA server, where the Content Proxy Server determines the current location of the MS by sending a query to the AAA server.

- 23. A Content Proxy Server having a network address and comprising a network interface, said Content Proxy Server further comprising a controller coupled to said network interface for receiving and storing data intended for a mobile station MS from a correspondent node CN, said Content Proxy Server operating to determine a current location of the MS and to initiate a Network Initiated Data Session NIDS for the MS at its current location.

32. A method to operate a wireless network with a mobile station MS, comprising:
-
registering the MS with a correspondent node CN;
sending data from the CN to a Content Proxy Server identified by the MS;
determining a current location of the MS with the Content Proxy Server; and
initiating a Network Initiated Data Session NIDS for the MS at its current location. - View Dependent Claims (33, 34, 35)

- 36. A wireless network comprising a mobile station MS operable for registering the MS with a correspondent node CN, said wireless network further coupled to a Content Proxy Server, said CN sending data to said Content Proxy Server that is identified by the MS when registering with the CN, said Content Proxy Server operating to determine a current location of the MS and to initiate a Network Initiated Data Session NIDS for the MS at its current location.
- 40. A mobile station MS operable in a wireless network that comprises a base station BS, said MS comprising a transmitter for sending a registration request via the BS to a correspondent node CN, said wireless network being coupled to a Content Proxy Server, said CN sending data to said Content Proxy Server that is identified by the MS when sending the registration request to the CN, said Content Proxy Server operating to determine a current location of the MS and to initiate a Network Initiated Data Session NIDS for the MS at its current location, said MS further comprising a receiver to receive data sourced by the CN, via the BS, at its current location.
- 44. A base station BS operable in a wireless network comprising a mobile station MS, said BS comprising a receiver for receiving a registration request from the MS for a correspondent node CN, said wireless network being coupled to a Content Proxy Server, said CN sending data to said Content Proxy Server that is identified by the MS when sending the registration request to the CN, said Content Proxy Server operating to determine a current location of the MS and to initiate a Network Initiated Data Session NIDS for the MS at its current location, said BS further comprising a transmitter to transmit data sourced by the CN to the MS at its current location.
