Abstract
A method of allocating an Internet Protocol (IP) address to a mobile wireless terminal within a mobile telecommunications network. The network repeatedly broadcasts, over a radio broadcast channel of the network, a routing prefix corresponding to the Radio Network Controller (RNC) ID. Mobile terminals listen to the broadcast channel, either when registering with the network or subsequently thereto, to determine the routing prefix. A mobile terminal combines the routing prefix with a host port to generate an IP address for subsequent Internet sessions.
