Abstract
A media access gateway includes a wireless network interface, a profile determination module, a proxy mobility agent module, and an address assignment module. The wireless network interface is configured to establish a wireless link with a wireless terminal. The profile determination module is configured to retrieve a profile corresponding to the wireless terminal. The profile includes packet data network identifiers. The proxy mobility agent module is configured to identify a packet data networks in response to the packet data network identifiers. The address assignment module is configured to transmit an address assignment message to the wireless terminal. The address assignment message (i) includes address components and (ii) associates the address components with the packet data networks. The wireless terminal uses the address components to communicate with the packet data networks.
