Communication system and communication method
First Claim
1. A communication system comprising:
- a communication terminal apparatus comprising a processor;
a plurality of access routers that communicate with the communication terminal apparatus;
a first mobility anchor point that controls an access router subordinate under the first mobility anchor point among the plurality of access routers, issues a first care-of address and a second care-of address, and transmits the issued first care-of address and the issued second care-of address through a network;
a second mobility anchor point that controls another access router subordinate under the second mobility anchor point among the plurality of access routers, wherein the second mobility anchor point is adjacent to the first mobility anchor point and separated by a boundary with the first mobility anchor point; and
a home agent that;
transmits data, transmitted to a home address of the communication terminal apparatus, to a destination indicated by at least one of the first care-of address and the second care-of address, wherein;
the first care-of address can only be used in cells of the first mobility anchor point;
the second care-of address can only be used in predetermined cells;
wherein the predetermined cells;
(i) only include a first cell group, which is part of the cells of the first mobility anchor point, and a second cell group, which is part of the cells of the second mobility anchor point, the second cell group of the second mobility anchor point being adjacent to the first cell group of the first mobility anchor point and separated by the boundary with the first mobility anchor point, and(ii) do not include at least one of (a) a third cell, which is part of the cells of the first mobility anchor point, and (b) a fourth cell, which is part of the cells of the second mobility anchor point; and
the home agent registers the home address of the communication terminal apparatus, the first care-of address transmitted through the network and the second care-of address transmitted through the network, wherein;
the home address of the communication terminal apparatus, the first care-of address and the second care-of address are associated with each other.

Abstract
A communication system enabling significant reduction in delay in handover between MAPs without increasing the number of MAPs to install. In the communication system, MAP(101) issues a Router Advertisement to AR(111) to AR(118). Particularly, MAP(101) assigns a plurality of Router Advertisements of a source of care-of address (RCOA) to register with HA to AR(118) of a cell on either side of a boundary of areas for each MAP. MN(107) receives a Router Advertisement transmitted from AR that is a communicating party among AR(119) to AR(126), and using the Router Advertisement, generates care-of addresses, RCOA and LCOA. AR(111) to AR(118) transmit the Router Advertisement RA generated by MAP(101) to MN in communication. Further, AR(111) to AR(118) transmit the care-or-addresses, RCOA and LCOA, issued from MN(107) to MAP(101).
