System and method for sharing a common pdp context

Abstract

Disclosed herein are methods and devices for sharing a packet data protocol (PDP) context among a plurality of devices. For example, a method or sharing a PDP context among a plurality of devices may include a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) sending a request to establish or modify a PDP context. The request to establish or modify the PDP context may include an indication that the WTRU is a member of shared context group. The method may also include the WTRU receiving a response indicating that the request to establish or modify the PDP context was accepted. The method may also include the WTRU acting as a gateway for at least one other device in the shared context group. The request to establish or modify the PDP context may be an attach request. The indication that the WTRU is a member of shared context group may be a group identifier (ID).
