First Claim
1. A method for providing network services, comprising:
- receiving a mobile station identifier (MSID) from a mobile node at a packet data serving node, the packet data serving node operable to communicate with the mobile node;
receiving a registration request (RRQ) from the mobile node, the RRQ comprising a network access identifier (NAI);
appending the MSID to the RRQ;
forwarding the RRQ to a home agent, the home agent operable to communicate with the packet data serving node; and

Abstract
A method for providing network services includes receiving a mobile station identifier (MSID) from a mobile node at a packet data serving node. The packet data serving node is operable to communicate with the mobile node. The method includes receiving a registration request (RRQ) from the mobile node and appending the MSID to the RRQ. The method includes forwarding the RRQ to a home agent. The home agent is operable to communicate with the packet data serving node. The method also includes receiving an Internet Protocol (IP) address from the home agent. The IP address corresponds to the MSID. The MSID may be included in a normal vendor specific extension (NVSE) constructed by the packet data serving node. Appending the MSID to the RRQ may comprise appending the NVSE to the RRQ.
