Abstract
This paper describes a mechanism and suggests a protocol enhancement to provide global Internet access to Mobile Personal Area Networks and support mobility under different scenarios. For this purpose the concept of the user’s Mobile Station acting as a Mobile Multi-link Subnet Router is introduced, which provides the necessary IPv6 connectivity and mobility service to the nodes connected to the Personal Area Network. The Mobile Station can distinguish between the nodes that need mobility support and the ones that do not in order to provide the appropriate type of IPv6 connectivity service. The main issues discussed are UMTS IPv6 connectivity, routing and mobility for the Mobile Station and the other nodes of the Mobile Personal Area Network.
