Abstract

La présente invention se rapporte à un procédé et à un système permettant une commutation sans points d'ancrage fixes dans une interopérabilité mondiale pour un système d'accès hyperfréquence (WiMAX). Le procédé comprend les étapes suivantes : après qu'un terminal effectue la commutation des points d'ancrage de réseau de service d'accès WiMAX, une passerelle d'accès (AGW) source envoie une demande de commutation de passerelle AGW à une passerelle AGW cible ; la passerelle cible AGW attribue un nouvel identifiant de routage (RID) au terminal et sauvegarde les informations de correspondance entre l'identifiant d'accès (AID) du terminal et le nouvel identifiant RID ; la passerelle AGW cible déclenche un flux d'enregistrement d'identifiant RID et met à jour l'identifiant RID du terminal sauvegardé par le registre d'identificateur et de localisateur (ILR) domestique du terminal, et envoie une réponse de commutation de passerelle AGW à la passerelle AGW source et effectue la commutation ; la passerelle AGW source libère les ressources attribuées au terminal et les messages entre le terminal et le terminal de communication opposé sont transférés par l'intermédiaire de la passerelle AGW cible. Le schéma technique surmonte le problème posé par le fait que la réalisation de la commutation a besoin du support de points d'ancrage fixes dans l'actuel système WiMAX.
