Binding proxies are used to reduce packet routing delays and call setup delays in a data network made up of a plurality of subnetworks. The binding proxy detects when a mobile device connects to a subnetwork and sends a binding message to various correspondent device(s) in the data network. The binding message contains a care-of-address of the mobile device that allowing the correspondent device(s) to send messages directly to the subnetwork that the mobile device is connected, thereby bypassing a home agent of the mobile device.

1. A method for providing mobility in a data network comprising a plurality of subnetworks, the method comprising the steps of:monitoring, by a binding proxy, traffic from a mobile device joined to a foreign subnetwork: detecting, by the binding proxy, that a first binding message is being sent to a home agent of the mobile device; and; sending, by the binding proxy, a second binding message to a correspondent device allowing the correspondent device to send messages directly to the foreign subnetwork that the mobile device is joined to, thereby bypassing the home agent. 2. The method of claim 1 wherein the second binding message includes a care-of-address for sending data directly to the mobile device while joined to the foreign subnetwork.3. The method of claim 2 wherein the second binding message further includes a home address of the mobile device on the home subnetwork.4. The method of claim 2 wherein the correspondent device is a call control entity, the method further comprising the steps of:receiving, by the call control entity, a request to set up a call between the mobile device and one or more other devices within the data network; sending, by the call control entity, a call set up message addressed to the care-of-address of the mobile device. 5. The method of claim 1 wherein the data network comprises a wireless communication network operable to provide wireless communication services for the mobile device via wireless communication resources, and wherein the correspondent device is a bandwidth manager that manages allocation of bandwidth on the wireless communication resources.6. In a wireless communication system comprising a plurality of base stations connected by a data network, the data network comprising a plurality of subnetworks, the base stations providing communication services to mobile devices using communication resources, a method comprising the steps of:receiving, by a binding proxy, an indication from a base station that a mobile device has operably connected to the base station of the plurality of base stations; and sending, by the binding proxy, a binding message to a correspondent device allowing the correspondent device to send messages directly to the base station that the mobile device is operably connected to, thereby bypassing a home agent of the mobile device. 7. The method of claim 6 wherein the correspondent device comprises a bandwidth manager operable to allocate use of the communication resources of the wireless communication system.8. The method of claim 6 wherein the binding message includes a care-of-address of the mobile device, the care-of-address being usable for sending messages to the mobile device while operably connected to the base station.9. The method of claim 8 wherein the binding message further includes a home address of the mobile device, the home address being associated with a subnetwork to which a home agent of the mobile device is operably connected.10. The method of claim 8 wherein the binding message further includes a base station identifier of the base station to which the mobile device is operably connected.11. The method of claim 6 wherein the correspondent device comprises a call control entity operable to manage the provision of calls to devices of the wireless communication system.12. In a wireless communication system including mobile device eligible to move between a plurality of base stations, and a binding proxy operable to detect when the mobile device operably connects to a base station of the plurality of base stations, a method comprising:sending, from the binding proxy to a call control entity, a first binding message including a care-of-address of the mobile device, the care-of-address being usable for sending messages to the mobile device while operably connected to the base station allowing the call control entity to send messages directly to the base station that the mobile device is operably connected to, thereby bypassing a home agent of the mobile device; sending, from the binding proxy to a bandwidth manager, a second binding message informing the bandwidth manager of the base station to which the mobile device is operably connected allowing the bandwidth manager to send messages directly to the base station that the mobile device is operably connected to, thereby bypassing a home agent of the mobile device. 13. The method of claim 12, further comprising:receiving, by the call control entity, a request to set up a call involving the mobile device; sending, by the call control entity to the bandwidth manager, a request to allocate a communication resource to the mobile device for the call; determining, by the bandwidth manager, an availability of resources at the base station to which the mobile device is operably connected to support the call; and sending, by the bandwidth manager to the call control entity, a notification of the availability of resources. 14. The method of claim 13, further comprising:if resources are available at the base station to which the mobile device is operably connected, sending, by the call control entity, a call setup message addressed to the care-of-address of the mobile device. 15. A wireless communication system comprising:a data network comprising a plurality of subnetworks; a correspondent device attached to the data network; a plurality of base stations attached to the data network, the base stations being operable to provide communication service to a mobile device using communication resources; a home agent of the mobile device, the home agent being attached to a home subnetwork of the plurality of subnetworks; and a binding proxy operable to detect a first binding message sent from the mobile device to the home agent over the data network, and send a second binding message to the correspondent device, allowing the correspondent device to send messages directly to the subnetwork that the mobile device is connected to, thereby bypassing the home agent. 16. The wireless communication system of claim 15 wherein the correspondent device is a bandwidth manager operable to manage the communication resources.17. The wireless communication system of claim 16 wherein the second binding message includes a base station identifier of the base station to which the mobile device is operably connected.18. The method of claim 1 wherein the second binding message includes a base station identifier identifying a base station to which the mobile device is operably connected.
