Table 54. AAA/PDSN Assigned IP Address Proxy Mobile IP Call Flow Description
Mobile Node (MN) secures a traffic channel over the airlink with the RAN through the BSC/PCF.
The PCF and PDSN/FA establish the R-P interface for the session.
The PDSN/FA and MN negotiate Link Control Protocol (LCP).
Upon successful LCP negotiation, the MN sends a PPP Authentication Request message to the PDSN/FA.
The PDSN/FA sends an Access Request message to the RADIUS AAA server.
The RADIUS AAA server successfully authenticates the subscriber and returns an Access Accept message to the
PDSN/FA. The Accept message may contain various attributes to be assigned to the MN including the MN‘s Home
Address (IP address) and the IP address of the HA to use.
The PDSN/FA sends a PPP Authentication Response message to the MN.
The MN sends an Internet Protocol Control Protocol (IPCP) Configuration Request message to the PDSN/FA with an MN
address of 0.0.0.0.
The PDSN/FA forwards a Proxy Mobile IP Registration Request message to the HA. The message includes such things as
the MN‘s home address, the IP address of the FA (the care-of-address), and the FA-HA extension (security parameter index
(SPI)).
While the FA is communicating with the HA, the MN may send additional IPCP Configuration Request messages.
The HA responds with a Proxy Mobile IP Registration Response after validating the home address against it‘s pool(s). The
HA also creates a Mobile Binding Record (MBR) for the subscriber session.
The MN and the PDSN/FA negotiate IPCP. The result is that the MN is assigned the home address originally specified by
the AAA server.
While the MN and PDSN/FA are negotiating IPCP, the HA and AAA server initiate accounting.
Upon completion of the IPCP negotiation, the PDSN/FA and AAA server initiate accounting fully establishing the session
allowing the MN to send/receive data to/from the PDN.
Upon completion of the session, the MN sends an LCP Terminate Request message to the PDSN to end the PPP session.
The PDSN/FA sends a Proxy Mobile IP De-registration Request message to the HA.
The PDSN/FA send an LCP Terminate Acknowledge message to the MN ending the PPP session.
The HA sends a Proxy Mobile IP De-Registration Response message to the FA terminating the Pi interface
The PDSN/FA and the PCF terminate the R-P session.
The HA and the AAA server stop accounting for the session.
The PDSN and the AAA server stop accounting for the session.
Scenario 2: HA Assigns IP Address to MN from Locally Configured Dynamic Pools
The following figure and table display and describe a call flow in which the MN receives its IP address from the AAA
server and PDSN/FA.
