Customization of Data Session Retry Mechanism in a Wireless Packet Data Service Network

A method, comprising:

• receiving, at a mobile communications device and from a wireless network, a retry configuration associated with a cause code, the retry configuration indicating whether a data session retry mechanism is to be disabled;
• sending a request for activation of a data session with a node in the wireless network;
• in response to the request for activation of the data session, receiving a reject message via the wireless network, the reject message comprising the cause code;
• and
• in response to the retry configuration associated with the cause code indicating that the data session retry mechanism is to be disabled, disabling, by the mobile communications device, a second request for activation of the data session with the node, wherein the retry configuration is configured by a carrier of the wireless network.

A mobile communications device, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one hardware processor communicatively coupled with the memory and configured to perform a method comprising:
• receiving, at the mobile communications device and from a wireless network, a retry configuration associated with a cause code, the retry configuration indicating whether a data session retry mechanism is to be disabled;
• sending a request for activation of a data session with a node in the wireless network;
• in response to the request for activation of the data session, receiving a reject message via the wireless network, the reject message comprising the cause code;
• and
• in response to the retry configuration associated with the cause code indicating that the data session retry mechanism is to be disabled, disabling, by the mobile communications device, a second request for activation of the data session with the node, wherein the retry configuration is configured by a carrier of the wireless network.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing instructions which, when executed, cause a mobile communications device to perform operations comprising:

• receiving, at the mobile communications device and from a wireless network, a retry configuration associated with a cause code, the retry configuration indicating whether a data session retry mechanism is to be disabled;
• sending a request for activation of a data session with a node in the wireless network;
• in response to the request for activation of the data session, receiving a reject message via the wireless network, the reject message comprising the cause code;
• and
• in response to the retry configuration associated with the cause code indicating that the data session retry mechanism is to be disabled, disabling, by the mobile communications device, a second request for activation of the data session with the node, wherein the retry configuration is configured by a carrier of the wireless network.
