A method, a computer program product, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus, which is a first node, sends a join request to a second node to route communication associated with a third node to the first node. The join request includes a first node identifier associated with the first node. The first node receives from the second node a join response comprising a second node identifier associated with the second node. The first node sends a setup request to the third node, the setup request comprising the second node identifier. The first node receives a communication with the first node identifier from the second node, the communication originating from the third node.

Multipath overlay network and its multipath management protocol

Proxy discovery for mobile networks having cooperative multiradio devices is provided through short range discovery and assistance from the network. In some aspects, a dedicated message is sent in response to a request from the client. The dedicated message includes a proxy list. The client uses the proxy list to discover those proxies on the list. Other aspects provide for the proxy list to be included in broadcast messages from the network. Thus, clients receive the broadcast messages and extract the proxy list for discovery purposes. Other aspects provide for the client to detect all of the wireless devices in the area and send a list to the network. The network responds with a sub-list of those proxies that are available to the client. In each such aspect, when the client discovers the available proxies, it transmits a list of the proxy ID of the discovered proxies to the network.

Power savings through cooperative operation of multiradio devices

Trust establishment in short range protocol pairing between client and proxy devices includes a first aspect in which application level security is used to encrypt all packets transmitted between the client and proxy. An application-based security derives a public key from the General Bootstrapping Architecture (GBA) and used that public key to generate an encryption key in an AES encryption algorithm. A second aspect provides for out of band security to be used to establish short range protocol pairing. In this second aspect, the client and proxy exchange identification information over a third party network that is out of band to the short range protocol. With this identification information exchanged out of band, the client and proxy may establish pairing in the short range protocol.

Page monitoring in a proxy relationship is optimized through creation of a new page occasion (PO) or paging frame (PF). The new PO/PF includes pages for each client-proxy relationship. Once the new PO/PF is communicated to the proxy, the proxy monitors for the pages of each client by monitoring a single PO/PF. Depending on the embodiment implemented, the network will either continue to also transmit pages during original PO or cease such transmission. On detection of a failed link between the proxy and client, the client may begin to monitor the original pages in such networks, or will begin monitoring using the new PO/PF until the network notifies the client that the state has changed.
