Abstract
An aging processing apparatus and method of a Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN) in a Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS), wherein the GGSN determines an appropriate aging policy on the basis of aging environmental information set by a manager, and checks whether a traffic is generated in every session or a session set by a particular APN for a reference time according to the determined aging policy, thereby performing managing (searching and releasing) with respect to abnormal sessions in which only a call connection is maintained without any packet flow.
Claims20
An aging processing apparatus in a mobile communications system comprising:
- a manager for setting aging environmental information;
- and
- a Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN) for checking whether a traffic is generated in at least one or more sessions for a reference time on the basis of the aging environmental information set by the manager, and thus releasing a connection of each abnormal session.
An aging processing method in mobile communications system comprising:
- setting, by a manager, aging environmental information in a Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN) using a Man Machine Interface (MMI) command;
- determining, by the GGSN, an aging policy on the basis of the set aging environmental information;
- and
- checking, by the GGSN, whether a traffic is generated in particular sessions for a reference time according to the determined aging policy, to thus manage a connection of abnormal sessions.
