Apparatus, and associated method, for facilitating routing of data in a radio communication system having a mobile node capable of roaming movement
First Claim
1. Apparatus for a radio communication system having a first network and at least a second network permitting of mobile-node communications, said apparatus for facilitating dissemination of routing information by which to route data from a mobile node by way of any of the first and at least second networks, said apparatus comprising:
- a registration request detector adapted to receive indications of a registration request from the mobile node, said registration request detector for detecting values of the registration request;
at least a first table accessible at least responsive to detection by said registration request detector of the values of the registration request, said first table containing routing-data entries indexed together with indicia associated with selected values of the registration request;
a routing information determiner adapted selectably to receive indications of selected routing-data entries contained in said at least the first table, said routing information determiner, responsive at least in part to the registration request, for determining routing information based at least in part on the routing-data entries, by which the data is to be communicated from the mobile node by way of any of the first and at least second networks.

Abstract
Apparatus, and an associated method, for providing routing information to a mobile node operable in a radio communication system. The routing information is used by the mobile node to address data messages that are to be communicated to a relay host, or other, device. The routing information that is provided to the mobile node includes a plurality of separate routing sequences. Different ones of the routing sequences are used by the mobile node, depending upon at what location that the mobile node is positioned when the data message is sent. A registration server is used by which to create the routing information, responsive to indications of a home network associated with the mobile node and a current location of the mobile node.

15. A method of communicating in a radio communication system having a first network and at least a second network permitting of mobile-node communications, said method for facilitating dissemination of routing information by which to route data communicated by a mobile node, said method comprising:
-
receiving a registration request from the mobile node; detecting values of the registration request; accessing at least a first table to ascertain routing-data entries indexed together with indicia associated with selected values of the registration request; and determining routing information by which the data is to be communicated from the mobile node by way of any of the first and at least second networks; and
,transmitting the routing information to the mobile node in response to the registration request. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
