If terminal found new Access point, terminal will send Router Solicitation for Proxy Advertisementto access router, to request current access router send the prefix information of access router by Proxy Router Advertisement.

Because terminal get prefix information of new network, terminal can create new Care of Address, and send the Information to current access router by fast binding update.
