Abstract
A method is provided in one example embodiment and includes communicating an access request message associated with a mobile node, receiving an access accept message that includes domain name data associated with the mobile node, and communicating a packet data protocol (PDP) context accept message for a tracking PDP context associated with the mobile node without associating an internet protocol (IP) address to the mobile node. The tracking PDP context identifies that the mobile node is available to receive network data. In more particular embodiments, the access request message includes an International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) associated with the mobile node, and the domain name data includes a fully qualified domain name. In still other embodiments, the tracking PDP includes a protocol configuration option (PCO) indicating that an IP address is not required for the mobile node.
