1. A method in a wireless communication system, comprising:
- acquiring a first source address and a second source address of a mobile node located in a foreign network, wherein the first source address is a home address of the mobile node in a home network and the second source address is a co-located care-of address of the mobile node in the foreign network;
signaling, using said first source address, a request to the home network to initialize a communication session between the mobile node in the foreign network and a correspondent node located in a remote network; and
transmitting, from the foreign network to the remote network, contents of said communication session to the correspondent node using said second source address.

Abstract
In a wireless communications system in which a mobile node seeks a communication session with a correspondent node by first signaling for initialization of the communication session through a first data path via an intermediate node. Thereafter, contents of the communication is established through a second data path in which the mobile node and the correspondent node communicate straightforwardly without going through the intermediate node.

1. A method in a wireless communication system, comprising:
-
acquiring a first source address and a second source address of a mobile node located in a foreign network, wherein the first source address is a home address of the mobile node in a home network and the second source address is a co-located care-of address of the mobile node in the foreign network; signaling, using said first source address, a request to the home network to initialize a communication session between the mobile node in the foreign network and a correspondent node located in a remote network; and transmitting, from the foreign network to the remote network, contents of said communication session to the correspondent node using said second source address. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5)

11. An apparatus in a communication system, comprising:
a memory circuit having computer-readable instructions for acquiring first source address and second source address of a mobile node located in a foreign network, wherein the first source address is a home address of the mobile node in a home network and the second source address is a co-located care-of address of the mobile node in the foreign network, signaling, using said first source address, a request to the home network to initialize a communication session between the mobile node in the foreign network and a correspondent node located in a remote network, and transmitting, from the foreign network to the remote network, contents of said communication session to the correspondent node using said second source address; and a processor circuit coupled to said memory circuit for processing said computer-readable instructions. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A Non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer-executable instructions for:
-
acquiring first source address and second source address of a mobile node located in a foreign network, wherein the first source address is a home address of the mobile node in a home network and the second source address is a co-located care-of address of the mobile node in the foreign network; signaling, through a first communication path using said first source address, a request to the home network to initialize a communication session between the mobile node in the foreign network and a correspondent node located in a remote network; and transmitting contents of said communication session through a second communication path to the correspondent node using said second source address, wherein the second communication path runs between the foreign network to the remote network. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)
