Distributed mobility anchoring for wireless networks
First Claim
1. An information handling system, comprising:
- a processor; and
a memory coupled to the processor, wherein instructions in the memory configure the processor to select a mobility anchor point for a mobile device in a distributed mobility anchor point network, the processor being configured to;
collect information about data transfer behavior of a mobile device in the network; and
assign a mobility anchor point associated with a first base station to the mobile device if the mobile device transfers at least a predetermined amount of data via the first base station.

Abstract
A method and an information handling system configured to select a mobility anchor point for a mobile device in a distributed mobility anchor point network may comprise collecting information about movement behavior or data transfer behavior of the mobile device, or tunneling overhead of two or more base stations. A mobility anchor point associated with a first base station may be assigned to the mobile device if the mobile device is connected to the first base station for at least a predetermined amount of time, if the mobile device transfers at least a predetermined amount of data via the first base station, or device if a tunneling overhead of the first base station is less than a predetermined level. In some embodiments, a centralized mobility anchor may be assigned to the mobile device if the mobile device is highly mobile and there is no identified base station to which the mobile device is frequently connected.
