Abstract
A network for a cellular communication system comprises access points (-) supporting cells within a region (). Each access point (-) has an individual proxy address of a proxy address space which is a local address space of an address proxy () and a common network address of a network address space which is a network wide address space. A gateway access point () covers an entry point to the region () and detects a remote station entering the region. It then determines an access point () in the region to which the remote station is handed over and transmits a binding message to the address proxy () with an indication of the access point (). In response to receiving the binding message, the address proxy () establishes a binding between the common network address and the proxy address of the access point (). Data for the remote station is then forwarded to the access point () using the binding.
