US 2003/0169704 A1 · Mobile communication terminal and management method for always preserved PDP context using for this mobile communication terminal

Abstract

A mobile communication terminal and a management method for an always preserved PDP context using for the mobile communication terminal, in which not delivering data to the mobile communication terminal from a push contents server can be avoided and also reestablishing an undesirable always preserved PDP context can be avoided, are provided. The timer in the mobile communication terminal is started at the time when the mobile communication terminal moved from a service area to an out of service area. The full measuring time value in the mobile communication terminal is set to be smaller than that of a PRAUT (periodic routing area update timer) in an RNC (resource network controller). In case that the mobile communication terminal returned to the service area, when the timer in the mobile communication terminal was full but within the full measuring time value of the PRAUT, the always preserved PDP context is reestablished, and it is not necessary to establish an undesirable new PDP context needing a new IP address. Therefore, the IP address of the mobile communication terminal, which was decided at the time when the always preserved PDP context was established and has been held in the push contents server, is not renewed meaninglessly. With this, error delivery of the push data caused by not matching the IP address can be avoided.

Dependent claims

A mobile communication terminal, which has been always connected to a PDP context being a logic circuit that is terminated at an end node via an intermediate node from said mobile communication terminal, for receiving a push service from a push contents server, comprising:

a time measuring means, which starts to measure time at the time when said mobile communication terminal moved from a service area to an out of service area, and whose full measuring time value is smaller than that of a timer measuring by said intermediate node, which measures the time until a call between said mobile communication terminal and said intermediate node is detached after said mobile communication terminal moved to said out of service area;
and
a PDP context management that reestablishes said PDP context, in case that said mobile communication terminal moved to a service area from said out of service area after said time measuring means finished measuring said full measuring time value before said timer measuring by said intermediate node did not finish measuring its own full measuring time value.

A management method for an always preserved PDP context using for a mobile communication terminal, which has been always connected to a PDP context being a logic circuit that is terminated at an end node via an intermediate node from said mobile communication terminal, for receiving a push service from a push contents server, comprising the steps of:

measuring time of the period between said mobile communication terminal moved from a service area to an out of service area and said mobile communication terminal returned to a service area from said out of service area by a first timer;
and
measuring time of the period that said mobile communication terminal stayed in said out of service area after said mobile communication-terminal moved from said service area by a second timer, wherein:
a full measuring time value of said first timer is smaller than, that of said second timer, and said full measuring time value of said second timer is the time until a call between said mobile communication terminal and said intermediate node is detached after said mobile communication terminal moved to said out of service area, and
said management method for said always preserved PDP context, further comprising the step of:
reestablishing said PDP context, in case that said mobile communication terminal moved to a service area from said out of service area after said first timer finished said full measuring time value before said second timer did not finish measuring said full measuring time value.
