44. The method of claim 33, wherein the address request message is sent according to a call control protocol. |
| Claim: |
45. The method of claim 44, wherein the call control protocol is SIP. |
| Claim: |
46. The method of claim 33, wherein the network agent device is a Session Initiation Protocol Redirect Server (SIP-RS). |
| Claim: |
47. The method of claim 46, wherein the address request message is an SIP Invite message. |
| Claim: |
48. The method of claim 47, wherein the address request message is an SIP Invite message with Binding Update option. |
| Claim: |
49. The method of claim 33, wherein the first communication device and the second communication device or both are radio communication devices. |
| Claim: |
50. The method of claim 49, wherein the first communication device and the second communication device or both are mobile radio communication devices. |
| Claim: |
51. The method of claim 50, wherein the first communication device and the second communication device or both are mobile phones, personal digital assistants or portable computers. |
| Claim: |
52. The method of claim 33, further comprising encapsulating the message to generate an encapsulated message comprising the message by adding a header comprising the first address of the second communication device as destination address for the encapsulated message to the message mapping the first address of the second communication device to the second address of the second communication device as destination address for the encapsulated message in the header. |
| Claim: |
53.
