Abstract
A data communication method, a communication system, and related devices are configured to establish a transaction identifier (TI) in a user equipment (UE). The data communication method includes the following steps. A mobility management entity (MME) receives a request message and obtains ability information of the UE. If the UE has an ability to access a Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network/GSM/EDGE Radio Access Network (UTRAN/GERAN), the MME generates the TI. A communication system and related devices are also provided. Thus, the TI is effectively established in the UE, so as to ensure normal processing of the UE.
Claims9
A communication method performed by user equipment (UE), comprising:
- sending, to a mobility management entity (MME) in an evolved packet system (EPS), an attach request message to attach the UE to a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network;
- receiving from the MME an attach accept message indicating that the UE has been attached to the LTE network, and obtaining, from the attach accept message, an EPS bearer identifier for a default bearer of the UE;
- generating a transaction identifier (TI) for a packet data protocol (PDP) context associated with the default bearer according to the EPS bearer identifier;
- and
- initiating a procedure for activating the PDP context by using the TI when the UE accesses a Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (UTRAN) or a global system for mobile communications (GSM)/enhanced data rates for global evolution (EDGE) Radio Access Network (GERAN).
User equipment (UE), comprising:
- a receiver;
- a transmitter;
- and
- a processor, wherein the processor is configured to:
- send, via the transmitter to a mobility management entity (MME) in an evolved packet system (EPS), an attach request message to attach the UE to a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network;
- receive, via the receiver, an attach accept message indicating that the UE has been attached to the LTE network, and obtain, from the attach accept message, an EPS bearer identifier for a default bearer of the UE;
- generate a transaction identifier (TI) for a packet data protocol (PDP) context associated with the default bearer according to the EPS bearer identifier;
- and
- initiate a procedure for activating the PDP context by using the TI when the UE accesses a Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (UTRAN) or a global system for mobile communications (GSM)/enhanced data rates for global evolution (EDGE) Radio Access Network (GERAN).
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer instructions for execution by one or more processors of user equipment (UE), wherein the computer instructions instruct the one or more processors to perform operations of:
- sending, to a mobility management entity (MME) in an evolved packet system (EPS), an attach request message to attach the UE to a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network;
- receiving from the MME an attach accept message indicating that the UE has been attached to the LTE network;
- obtaining, from the attach accept message, an EPS bearer identifier for a default bearer of the UE;
- generating a transaction identifier (TI) for a packet data protocol (PDP) context associated with the default bearer according to the EPS bearer identifier;
- and
- initiating a procedure for activating the PDP context by using the TI when the UE accesses a Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (UTRAN) or a global system for mobile communications (GSM)/enhanced data rates for global evolution (EDGE) Radio Access Network (GERAN).
