Abstract

Methods, apparatuses and systems directed to facilitating optimized routing and mobility for communication sessions in partial mesh network deployments. According to one embodiment, routing a packet flow in a communication session includes facilitating a communication session between a first mobile node and a second mobile node. A packet flow from the first mobile node is received at a transient anchor of a visited network. The transient anchor establishes whether the packet flow is to be routed along an optimized path according to one or more routing rules. One or more of the routing rules may be based on the current cell location of the first mobile node relative to a mobility or radio coverage boundary associated with the transient anchor.
