Abstract
Seamless mobility between public and private WLANs may be provided. First a Mobile Node (MN) may be registered for privileged network access via a first access point (AP). Then, a privileged access channel for the MN via a first Mobility Access Gateway (MAG) may be established. Next, a switch by the MN from the first AP to a second AP may be detected. A determination may be made as to whether the second AP is associated with one of the following: the first MAG and a second MAG. Then, when the second AP is associated with the first MAG, the second AP may be established as a new termination point for the privileged access channel. When the second AP is associated with the second MAG, a new privileged access channel may be established through the second MAG.
