Patent abstract

The present invention describes a method and system for local mobility management in which the mobility management taking place inside the mobile agent (MA) domain is hidden from the home agent (HA) and correspondent node (CN). In the method the mobile agent (MA) prefix information is broadcast over the air interface. An access router is implemented in the cellular access node (CAN). The cellular access node (CAN) also comprises a cellular access point (CAP). Proxy functionality is arranged to the cellular access point (CAP). Binding entries are created to the mobile agent (MA) so that only basic mobile IPv6 needs to be supported in the mobile node (MN).
