DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION: TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates generally to packet data communication and, more particularly, to wireless multimedia packets using separate communication paths for signal transmission and for content transmission. Data communication. [Prior Art] Network interconnection allows for rapid access to information regardless of geographical distance globally. Figure 1 shows a simplified schematic diagram of a global network connection, commonly referred to as the Internet represented by reference numeral 20. Internet 2 is essentially a network of different hierarchical architectures that are linked together. The Internet 20 is operated under the IP (Internet Protocol) published by the TF (Internet Engineering Working Group) written by I. The details of the IP can be found in the RFC (Request for Comments) 791 published by the IETF. Connected to the Internet 20 are various individual networks, sometimes referred to as LAN (Regional Network) or WAN (Wide Area Network) depending on the size of the network. Shown in circle 1 are some of these networks 22, 24, 26 and 28 that are connected to the Internet 20. Within each of the networks 22, 24, 26 and 28, there may be various pieces of equipment that are connected to each other and that communicate with each other. Just a few examples, which are computers, printers, and servers. Each piece of equipment has a hardware-only address, commonly referred to as a MAC (Media Access Control J) address. A piece of equipment with a MAC address is sometimes referred to as a node. When the node communicates over its own network via the Internet 20, an IP address needs to be assigned to the node. The assignment of IP addresses can be manual or automatic. 1] The manual assignment of addresses can be performed by, for example, a network administrator. IP addresses are more often automatically 101128.doc 1360361

For example, in a LAN, an ip address can be assigned by a server called a DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol) server located inside the node's LAN. In a WAN supporting wireless technology, IP addresses can even be assigned automatically and remotely. Returning to Figure 2 as an example, it is assumed that node 3 in network 22 attempts to send a data packet to another node 32 in network 28. Under IP, each -= beft packet needs to have a source address and a destination address. In this case, the source address is the address of node 30 in network 22, and the address is called HoA (the address of the home). The destination address is the address of node 32 in network 28. As another example, when node 3 in network 22 attempts to originate from another network 24 (such as in a web hosting session (web h〇sUng sessi〇n), where node 34 acts as a web server When the node 34 is capturing information, the node must provide the appropriate IP address of the node 34 in the network 24 for the session. The advent of wireless technology allows nodes to move away from the network they were originally logged into to another network. For example, returning to the reference map, node 3 (instead of wired connection to • network 22) can be a wireless device such as a pda (personal digital assistant), a mobile phone, or a mobile computer. The wireless node 3 can move beyond the boundaries of its home network 22 so that, for example, node 30 can roam away from its home network 22 to the lending network%. In this case, the initial h〇a assigned to node 3〇 will no longer apply to node 30. Similarly, the data packet destined for node 〇h〇a will not reach node 30. The MIP (Mobile Internet Protocol) described by Lie is intended to handle node mobility issues. According to the RFC job announced, the node 3〇 is assigned 10H28.doc 1360361, abbreviated as CoA (transfer address) " Address ". Under RFC 2〇〇2, there are two types of CoA, namely, FACoA (foreign agent transfer address) and cc〇A (commonly set transfer address). The FACoA is essentially the address of the FA (foreign agent), which is located at a designated server in the foreign network. CCoA is assigned to the individual but temporary address of node 3 by the foreign network. φ In any event, at any time in the foreign area of the node 30, the node 30 must log into its home network 22 a CoA that can be fa CoA or CCoA, such that the home network 22 always knows where the node 30 is located. After logging in, c〇a is stored in a routing table maintained by the designated server, which is referred to as the HA (Home Code) 25 of the home network 22. Several examples are used for illustration. For the case of FACoA, it is assumed that node 3〇 roams into the foreign network %. Upon reaching the regional boundary of the foreign network 26, the node receives an announcement message from the foreign network 26 for announcing the presence of the node 3 in its foreign area. From the announcement message, the node knows the address of the fa 3 6 of the foreign network. Node 30 then logs in to fac〇a to ha 25 in the home network 22. For example, when node 30 in foreign network 26 sends a data packet to node 34 in network 24, the address of node 34 in network μ is known and the data packet can be sent directly. That is, according to Ip, in the data packet, the source address can be set to the HoA of the node 30, and the destination address can be set to the address of the node 34 in the network 24. The direction of the data packet is shown as the data path 38 shown in Figure i. 10il28.doc For reverse data flow and t, basin * ° /, is not straightforward. In the reverse data routing, when the network 34 in the network 24 is forced to send a data packet to the node 3 (now in the foreign network 2, 峪 26, as described above), according to ιρ, the source bit Both the address and the destination address must be + 丨丨Α ^ 3 specified in the bedding packet. In this case, the 'source address' is the IP address of the network 24 Φ + #田1, which is the point 34. For destination address

However, since the FA CoA of the node 3G is stored in the routing table of the HA 25 in the home network 22, so the w data packet arrives at the home network 22, the HA 25 of the network 22 encapsulates the received FACoA by the stored FACoA. The data packet is sent to the node 3 in the foreign network 26. That is, the encapsulated data packet uses FA CoA as the destination address. Once the foreign network % receives the encapsulated data packet, the FA 36 strips only the encapsulated_AC〇A and passes the initial packet to the mobile node 30. The routing of the data packet is shown as data path 40 in Figure i. It should also be noted that data paths such as paths 38 and 4 actually pass through the Internet 20 many times. For clarity so as not to obscure the map, the paths are only shown as passing through related servers such as HA25&FA36. That is, data paths 38 and 40 are shown as maps! The logical path shown in . Operating in the manner described above, it is said that the mobile node communicates with the corresponding node 34 by using FA CoA under Μιρ.

Technical Specification Group Services and System 101128.doc 1360361For the case of CCoA, for example, when node 3 is roaming away from the home network 22, instead of requesting FA CoA, node 30 may instead request via a DHCP server in any foreign network in which node 3 is located. cc〇A. 101128.doc I36〇36l, if the network 26 is a wan supporting wireless technology such as cdma2000 light-weight published by TIA/eia (Telecommunications Industry Association/Electronics Industry Association), The PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) remotely requests and assigns the CCGAe by the foreign network %. However, in addition to assigning the CCoA by the lending network %, the node 3 performs all functions of the foreign agent such as the FA 36. In addition, the MN 48 needs to log in to the CCoA to the HN 44. For example, to correspond to the node 34 in the network 24, the node 3 sends a data packet with two address layers. In the outer layer, the source address is set to CCoA and the destination address is set to HA 25. In the inner layer, the source address is the HoA of node 30, and the destination address is the address of node 34 in foreign network 24. Upon receiving the data packet from the roaming node 30, the HA 25 strips the outer address layer and sends the data packet to the node 34 via the inner address layer. The logical path of the data packet is shown as data path 42 in Figure 1. In the reverse data path, meaning that when node 34 sends a data packet to node 30, the data packet has only one address layer, where the source address is set to node 34 and the destination address is Set to HoA of node 30. Upon receiving the data packet, the HA 25 encapsulates the data packet, wherein the CCoA is used as the destination address and the address of the A 2 5 is used as the source address, and the encapsulated data packet is sent to the node 30. Node 30 performs decapsulation on its own without going through FA 36. The direction of the data packet is shown as the data path 44 ° in Figure 1 to operate as described above, and the roaming node 3 is said to communicate with the corresponding node 34 by using the CCoA under the MIP. Regardless of whether node 30 uses FACoA or CCoA, in order to communicate with other networks under MIP at 101128.doc 1360361 roaming at node 39, there is an instantiation by logical data paths 40, 4 2 and 4 4 shown in the figure. A considerable amount of traffic bypasses the data path. That is, the data packet must pass through the intermediate network before reaching the destination. The flow of β-Xuan et al. does not cause many problems in the specific type of data such as file transfer. Under Tcp (Transmission Control Protocol) as described in RFC 793, the data packet takes only a longer time to reach the destination. It is also well known that data packets that pass through longer data paths are more susceptible to transmission errors. However, while the overall data transfer process is further slowed down, defective packets can always be resent. However, for other types of data such as audio or video calls, the precise access to the instant information is significant. Excessive detour of data routing introduces additional latency during the data transfer process. In addition, for data packets sent under 2UDp (User Datagram Protocol) as described in RFC 768, t'error (four) packets are not normally Retransmission is simply discarded. As a result, service quality can be destroyed. Therefore, there is a need to provide better real-time data access in wireless communication systems. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A t-action node searches for a communication session with a corresponding node by performing a first-signal transmission for the initialization of a communication session via a first data path of an intermediate node in a communication system. Thereafter, the content of the communication is established via the second data path 'where the mobile node communicates directly with the corresponding node without going through the intermediate node. According to the embodiment, the mobile node roams from its home network to a foreign network 101128.doc 12 1360361 2. By using the first address 'action node', the agent is sent via the home network to use the signal for the start of the communication session with the corresponding node. The home agent then forwards the initial signal transmission to the secondary destination node at the remote network. When the corresponding node accepts, the mobile node uses the second address to transmit the content of the communication session directly via the direct data path between the mobile node and the phase library = without passing through the home agent. The result is a shorter data path, which reduces the transmission #待(四) &quot;日因高高服务质量' combined with Figure 2:, 'and thus μ, 9 w detailed description, T learn this technology, These and other features and advantages will be apparent from the <RTIgt; The following description is provided to enable those skilled in the art to make and use the invention.

Additionally, there is a PDSN (Packet Data Service Node) 64 which is essentially an access gateway located between the backbone network 52 and the radio access portion of the HN 54. In order to perform various IMS/MMD functions and features, the service provider has installed different servers in the HN 54. Examples of such servers include a P-CSCF (Proxy Call Status Session Function) server 70 and an S-CSCF (Service Call Status Session Function) server 72. A functional description of these servers will be depicted later along with the operational description of system 50. ‘ 101128.doc -14-

These nodes can be computers of various sizes, printers, and any other device that can be actionable or inactive. Shown in FIG. 2 are FNs 56 and 57 that are linked to backbone network 52. In addition, for simplicity and ease of explanation, FN56 and RN58 are illustrated as slightly similar to HN 54. It should be understood that FN56 and RN58 can be constructed very different depending on the use. Thus, in this case, the FN 56 also includes an FA (foreign agent) 66, a PDSN 68, a P-CSCF 71, and a PDF (Policy Decision Function) 75. Similarly, RN 58 also includes a PDSN 78, a P-CSCF 80, an S-CSCF 82, and a PDF 84. In system 50, there is an MN (Mobile Node) 60 that initially logs in to the HA 62 in HN 54 in HoA (Home Address). The MN 60 can move to other foreign networks, such as FN 56 or FN 57, and can access the backbone network 52 via FN 56 or FN 57 under MIP (Mobile Internet Protocol). Assume that the MN 60 is roaming in the FN 56. In this particular example, assume that the user of MN 60 desires to have a video conference session with another user operating CN (corresponding node) 90 in RN 58. Node 90 can be mobile or inactive. Typically, upon reaching the area of FN 56, MN 60 obtains the address of FA 66 via the announcement issued by FN 56. The MN 60 then logs into the FA CoA to the HA 62 in the HN 54 so that the HA 62 can remember the location of the MN 60. Thereafter, the 'MN 60 in the FN 56 sends a message to the P-CSCF 70 in the HN 54 to initiate the conference session. The initial signal transmission path for the request starts from FN 56 to HN 54 before reaching RN 58. Similarly, if the conference session request is approved, the response signal transmission path is the reverse of the request path. 101128.doc -15 -

1360361 路徑,意即,自RN 58至HN 54且接著至FN 56。在核准請 求時,承載流量(意即,含有會議會期之音訊及視訊内容的 媒體流之流量)或多或少地沿訊號傳輸路徑之方向傳播。意 即,承載流量之邏輯路徑在到達CN 90之前自FN 56中之MN 60流動,且接著至HN 54中之HA 62且最終流至RN 58,且 反之亦然。如以上所述,該資料流量曲流會增加封包資料 之等待時間《另外,傳輸錯誤亦更易於發生。 在以下描述之實施例中,採用了不同的方法。用於承載 流量之資料路徑經選擇成大體上不同於會期起始訊號傳輸 路徑。 參考圖2,首先,假設MN 60遠離HN 54向FN 56漫遊。在 到達FN 5 6之區域時,MN 60自FN 5 6接收一公告訊息。自 該訊息,MN 60得到FA 66之位址。其後,MN 60藉由向HA 62登錄FA 66之位址來報告回至HN 54。所登錄的位址稱作 FACoA,其儲存於HN54中之HA62之路由表中。1360361 Path, meaning from RN 58 to HN 54 and then to FN 56. When the request is approved, the bearer traffic (that is, the traffic of the media stream containing the audio and video content of the conference session) is more or less propagated in the direction of the signal transmission path. That is, the logical path carrying the traffic flows from MN 60 in FN 56 before reaching CN 90, and then to HA 62 in HN 54 and eventually to RN 58, and vice versa. As mentioned above, the data stream will increase the waiting time of the packet data. In addition, transmission errors are more likely to occur. In the embodiments described below, different methods are employed. The data path for carrying traffic is selected to be substantially different from the beginning of the session signal transmission path. Referring to FIG. 2, first, assume that the MN 60 is roaming away from the HN 54 to the FN 56. Upon reaching the area of FN 5 6, the MN 60 receives an announcement message from the FN 56. From this message, MN 60 receives the address of FA 66. Thereafter, the MN 60 reports back to the HN 54 by logging in to the address of the FA 66 to the HA 62. The registered address is called FACoA, which is stored in the routing table of HA62 in HN54.

此外,假設MN 60之使用者欲與RN 58中之CN 90的使用 者進行視訊會議會期。 首先,MN自FN 56獲得CCoA。藉由使用初始由HN 54中 之HA 62所指派之HoA,MN 60向HN 54中之HA 62登錄 CCoA。MN 60亦藉由使用HoA向HN 54中之S-CSCF 72登 錄,以用於對HN 54中之SIP(會期起始協定)網路之存取。In addition, it is assumed that the user of the MN 60 wants to have a video conference session with the user of the CN 90 in the RN 58. First, MN obtains CCoA from FN 56. The MN 60 logs into the CCoA to the HA 62 in the HN 54 by using the HoA originally assigned by the HA 62 in the HN 54. The MN 60 also registers with the S-CSCF 72 in the HN 54 by using the HoA for access to the SIP (Meeting Start Agreement) network in the HN 54.

接著MN 60將SIP INVITE訊息發送至HN 54中之P-CSCF 70。應注意到,在實際運作中,如同所有其它資料流量一 樣,SIP INVITE訊息在投送至P-CSCF 70之前首先經過The MN 60 then sends the SIP INVITE message to the P-CSCF 70 in the HN 54. It should be noted that in actual operation, as with all other data flows, the SIP INVITE message is first passed before being sent to the P-CSCF 70.

Additionally, as is well known in the art, data traffic passes through system 50 via a carrier in the form of electrical signals. Data flow is illustrated as a logical path for clarity in a manner similar to that described above. That is, in the following description, unless otherwise highlighted, only the logical path of the data stream is traced. It should be further noted that as an alternative embodiment, the MN 60 may send a SIP INVITE message to the P-CSCF 71 in the FN 56 to initiate the conference session. For the sake of simplicity of explanation, in the following description, the P-CSCF 70 in the HN 54 is used for the start of the conference session. Returning to Figure 2, the SIP INVITE message includes a description portion called SDP (Schedule Description Protocol) which essentially describes the basic requirements for proper execution of the requested video conference session. For example, included in the SDP is the 1p address and apostrophe of the MN 60 and the codec specification for the duration. More importantly, in this embodiment, the SDP includes the CCoA of the MN 60 for the media stream, which is the bearer traffic. The P-CSCF 70 in the HN 54 is a node responsible for the management of the call duration. Upon receipt of the SIP INVITE message, the P-CSCF 70 generates the unique signature of the requested session. The P-CSCF 70 then forwards the SIP INVITE message to the S-CSCF 72 in the HN 54. The C-CSCF 72 then sends a SIP INVITE message to the RN 58 for accepting the request. The P-CSCF 70 sends the token to the MN 60 when the S-CSCF 72 approves the session and the CN 90 in the RN 58 accepts the conference session. By grasping the token, the MN 60 then sends the token along with the requested QoS (Quality of Service) to the PDSN 68 in the FN 56 to establish bearer traffic, that is, the conference duration I01128.doc -17 *

The PDSN 68 then requests the approved QoS for the conference session from the PDF 75, which then forwards the request to the P-CSCF 70 in the HN 54. Any parameters permitted by PDF 75 must conform to a specific authorization policy. Such policies may include: rules specified under the IMS/MMD standard; specific protocols in the network, such as agreements between HN 54 and FN 56 relating to the handling of bearer traffic; a network-specific strategy, A strategy such as FN 56 alone. PDF 75 is placed for decision making for all mandatory policies. In the decision making process, PDF 75 is inserted between P-CSCF 71 and PDSN 68 in FN 56. Additionally, there is a Go interface 92 interposed between the PDSN 68 and the PDF 75. There is another Gq interface 94 between the PDF 75 and the P-CSCF 71. The Go interface 92 and the Gq interface 94 are used for policy control between conference sessions and bearer traffic. Details of the Go interface and the Gq interface can be found in 3GPP TS 23.107, published by 3GPP, and 3GPP2 X.P0013-012, published by 3GPP2. Returning now to Figure 2, if the requested session parameters are approved, they are passed from P-CSCF 70 and PDF 75 to PDSN 68. In this embodiment, it is assumed that the CN 90 has a CCoA assigned by the RN 58. Thus, upon receiving the SIP INVITE message, the CN 90 responds with a SIP 200 OK message. The SIP 200 OK message primarily reaffirms the parameters of the initial SIP INVITE message. The SIP 200 OK follows the same data path as the SIP INVITE message but in reverse order. The MN 60 then determines to receive the SIP 200 101128.doc 8, 1360361 οκ message by sending back an acknowledgment message (ACK) along the same data path as the initial SIP INVITE message.

其後,根據如SIP INVITE訊息中所述之經核准的參數, 藉由FN 56中之PDSN 68來建立承載流量。在圖2中,承載 資料路徑被展示為視訊路徑100及音訊路徑102,該視訊路 徑與該音訊路徑經由其個別CCoA位址而直接鏈接節點60 與90。以如所述方式之承載流量有時可被標記為依據簡單 IP藉由使用CcoA而建立資料流量,此不同於資料路徑42與 44,其中據說該等資料路徑係在MIP下藉由使用CCoA而得 以建立,如圖1中所示及描述。 在該實施例中,在SIP INVITE中,為了指定適當的流量 流,MN 60與CN 90皆使用其相應的CCoA。例如,CN 90之 CCoA可藉由RN 58之PDSN 78來指派。例如,MN 60之CCoA 係藉由且經由對FN 56中之PDSN 68之請求來指派。以如上 述之方式而獲得之CCoA極其經常地稱作”簡單IP位址”。 如上文所述之過程展示於圖3之流程圖中。 當MN 60漫遊至遠離FN 5 6之又一網路(例如,至FA 57) 時,MN60自新的FN57獲得新的CCoA。其後,MN60向HN 54中之HA 62登錄該新的CCoA。由於MN 60先前已使用了 HoA向S-CSCF 72登錄,因此該MN無需執行另一 SIP登錄。 在該實施例中,MN 60僅以大體上類似於如先前所描述之 發送SIP INVITE訊息之方式藉由新CCoA而將一 SIP UPDATE訊息發送至CN 90。為簡明起見,在此不進一步重 複SIP UPDATE訊息之邏輯流程,但是將其展示於圖4之流 程圖中。 101128.doc -19-Thereafter, bearer traffic is established by the PDSN 68 in the FN 56 based on the approved parameters as described in the SIP INVITE message. In Figure 2, the bearer data path is shown as video path 100 and audio path 102, and the video path and the audio path directly link nodes 60 and 90 via their respective CCoA addresses. The bearer traffic in the manner described may sometimes be marked as establishing data traffic by using CcoA in accordance with a simple IP, which is different from data paths 42 and 44, which are said to be under MIP by using CCoA. It is established as shown and described in Figure 1. In this embodiment, in the SIP INVITE, in order to specify an appropriate traffic flow, both the MN 60 and the CN 90 use their respective CCoAs. For example, the CCoA of the CN 90 can be assigned by the PDSN 78 of the RN 58. For example, the CCoA of the MN 60 is assigned by and via a request to the PDSN 68 in the FN 56. The CCoA obtained in the manner described above is very often referred to as a "simple IP address." The process as described above is shown in the flow chart of Figure 3. When the MN 60 roams to a further network away from the FN 56 (e.g., to the FA 57), the MN 60 obtains a new CCoA from the new FN 57. Thereafter, the MN 60 logs in to the new CCoA to the HA 62 in the HN 54. Since the MN 60 has previously used the HoA to log in to the S-CSCF 72, the MN does not need to perform another SIP login. In this embodiment, the MN 60 transmits a SIP UPDATE message to the CN 90 by the new CCoA only in a manner substantially similar to transmitting the SIP INVITE message as previously described. For the sake of brevity, the logic flow of the SIP UPDATE message is not further repeated here, but it is shown in the flow chart of Figure 4. 101128.doc -19-

Once the bearer traffic identified by data paths 100 and 102 is established, PDSN 68 implements a set of policies called SBBC (Service Based Bearer Control) under the guidance of PDF 75 in accordance with the IMS standard. The implementation of the SBBC is continuous until the end of the session between the MN 60 and the CN 90. The policies included in the SBBC may be: authorization for the requested QoS for the session; feeding of individual bearer flows; and regulation of bearer traffic. To meet this goal, PDSN 68 monitors the media streams in bearer paths 100 and 102. Details of the operation of the SBBC can be found in the literature for the following headings: &quot;3GTP2 MMD Service Based Bearer Control Document, Work in Prograj’., 3GPP2 X.P0013-012. A description of the SDP can be found in the literature for the following topics: &quot;IP Multimedia Call Control Protocol Based on Sip and SDP&quot;, Stage 3: TIA-873-004 and RFC 2327. Operating in the manner described above, the content of the media stream can be directly transmitted and received as identified by the bearer traffic paths 100 and 102 shown in FIG. Unnecessary detours in the data path can be reduced, resulting in faster and more accurate real-time data access. Figure 5 is a schematic representation of a hardware embodiment portion of a mobile node device, indicated by reference numeral 120, in accordance with the present invention. Device 120 can be built and incorporated into a variety of devices such as laptops, PDAs (personal digital assistants) or mobile phones. Apparatus 120 includes a central data bus 122 that links a number of circuits together. The circuits include a CPU (Central Processing Unit) or a controller 124, a receiving circuit 126, a transmitting circuit 128, and a memory circuit 130. 101128.doc -20- 1360361 The receiving circuit 126 and the transmitting circuit 128 can be connected to an RF (Radio Frequency) circuit but it is not shown in the figure. The receiving circuit 126 sends the received signal to the data bus 122 before sending it to the data bus 122. Processing and buffering the received signals. On the other hand, the transmission circuit 128 processes and buffers the data from the data bus 122 before it is sent to the outside of the device 120. The CPu/controller 124 performs the data management functions of the data bus 122 and further performs the functions of the general data processing, including executing the instruction contents of the memory circuit 130. The φ memory circuit 13A includes a set of instructions generally indicated by reference numeral 131. In this embodiment, the instructions include portions such as MIP client 132 and SIp client 134. SIP client 134 includes a set of instructions in accordance with the present invention as previously described. As also mentioned above, the MIP client 132 includes a set of instructions for allowing the device 120 to operate in accordance with ip and MIP, such as obtaining various types of addresses for various uses. In this embodiment, the memory circuit 130 is a RAM (random access memory) circuit. The illustrative command portions 132 and 134 are software modules. Memory Power • Channel 130 can be connected to another memory circuit (not shown), which can be of a volatile or non-volatile type. As an alternative embodiment, the memory circuit 130 can be made of other circuit types, such as EEpR〇M (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory), EPR0M (Electronic Programmable Read Only Memory), ROM (read only Remembrance), disk, optical disc and its well-known types in the art. • ', gossip Finally, what is described in the examples is only a few networks connected to the backbone network. It should be apparent that multiple networks may be involved. In addition, as described in the embodiments, node 6G is depicted as a mobile device that has roamed through different foreign networks 10H28.doc 1360361. It should be appreciated that the corresponding network node 90 can be fixed. Node 90 can also be mobile, and when it arrives at another foreign network, it performs program and status updates in a manner similar to that required by node 60. Further, there is no need to limit the signal transmission process for the start of the communication session to the use of the HoA as described in the embodiment. CCoA can be used instead of HoA for signal transmission.
