SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING BROADCAST AND/OR MULTICAST BASED COMMUNICATION SESSIONS FOR MOBILE NODES
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a mobile node communicably coupled to a first communication network;
a first proxy-relay communicably coupled to the first communication network for performing one or more functions on behalf of the mobile node; and
a first policy-profile repository communicably coupled to the first communication network for storing a first set of policy-profile definitions describing a first set of services in the first communication network that the mobile node is allowed to access and a first set of rules describing discovery preferences for the mobile node.

Abstract
A system (100) and method for managing communication session is provided. The system includes a mobile node (104) that is communicably coupled to a first communication network (102). Further, the system includes a first proxy-relay (108). The first proxy-relay is communicably coupled to the first communication network and performs one or more functions on behalf of the mobile node. The system also includes a first policy-profile repository (106) that is communicably coupled to the first communication network. The first policy-profile repository stores a first set of policy-profile definitions describing a first set of services in the first communication network that the mobile node is allowed to access and a first set of rules describing discovery preferences for the mobile mode.

9. A policy-profile repository comprising:
-
an interface to a first communication network; and a non-volatile memory for storing a first set of policy-profile definitions applicable to a first set of mobile nodes, wherein the first set of policy-profile definitions describe a first set of services that the first set of mobile nodes is allowed to access in the first communication network, and a first set of rules describing discovery preferences applicable to the first set of mobile nodes.

10. A method for a first proxy-relay of a first communication network to manage at least one communication session across one or more communication networks comprising:
-
establishing a unicast communication session between a mobile node and the first proxy-relay; obtaining one or more policy-profile definitions, the one or more policy-profile definitions describing one or more services in the first communication network that the mobile node is allowed to access and a first set of rules describing discovery preferences for the mobile node; and performing one or more functions on behalf of the mobile node in conformance with the one or more policy-profile definitions. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
