1. A method for facilitating mobile node mobility, comprising:
- facilitating at a current access location a communication session for a mobile node;
managing context information for the communication session, the context information comprising information for supporting the communication session;
establishing a predictive set comprising one or more predicted next access locations for the communication session; and
transferring the context information to the one or more predicted next access locations prior to the communication session moving to an actual next access location.

Abstract
Facilitating mobile node mobility includes facilitating at a current access location a communication session for a mobile node. Context information for the communication session is managed, where the context information comprises information for supporting the communication session. A predictive set comprising one or more predicted next access locations is established for the communication session. The context information is transferred to the predicted next access locations prior to the communication session moving to an actual next access location.

20. A method for facilitating mobile node mobility, comprising:
-
facilitating at a current access location a communication session for a mobile node;
managing context information for the communication session, the context information comprising information for supporting the communication session;
establishing a predictive set comprising one or more predicted next access locations for the communication session by;
determining previous usage describing usage at a next access location of a plurality of access locations, given the current access location and zero or more previous access locations; and
selecting from the plurality of access locations one or more next access locations with higher usage;
determining a quality of service associated with the mobile node; and
establishing the predictive set in accordance with the quality of service, a higher quality of service yielding more predicted next access locations than a lower quality of service;
transferring the context information to the one or more predicted next access locations prior to the communication session moving to an actual next access location; and
applying a load balancing operation to historical data by;
establishing a first usage of a first next access location of a plurality of access locations, the plurality of access locations comprising the one or more predicted next access locations;
establishing a second usage of a second next access location of the plurality of access locations, the second usage less than the first usage; and
generating a recommendation to attach the mobile node to the second next access location.
