Abstract
A method, device and system for providing communication session mobility of multimedia content delivered to a mobile communication device, such as a Digital Video Broadcasting-Handheld (DVB-H) mobile video device. For example, multimedia content delivered to a mobile communication device via a DVB-H network can be transferred seamlessly to a cellular data network. Session mobility is provided using a control server or session controller configured to manage and facilitate the transfer of the content delivery. The control server manages the transfer in response to receiving appropriate communication session control information from the mobile communication device. The control server can be a network element coupled to or contained within the network that couples a multimedia content source to one or more wireless control points that communicate with the end user mobile communication device. Alternatively, the control server can be partially or completely included or contained within the multimedia content provider.
