Abstract
A method for operating a session control entity configured to control a data packet session for a mobile subscriber in a network, wherein at least one service is applied to the data packet session by a service application entity, the method includes at the session control entity receiving a first request from a requestor requesting application of the at least one service, in which it is requested that the requestor be informed of a current status of at least one session related parameter of the data packet session, and transmitting a notification to the requestor, the notification having the current status of the at least one session related parameter.

-22. (canceled)
A session control entity configured to control a data packet session of a mobile subscriber in a network, at least one service being applied to the data packet session by a service application entity, the session control entity comprising a memory and at least one processing unit, the memory containing instructions executable by the at least one processing unit, the session control entity being configured to:
- receive a first request from a requestor requesting application of the at least one service, in which it is requested that the requestor be informed of a current status of at least one session related parameter of the data packet session;
- and
- transmit a notification to the requestor, the notification comprising the current status of the at least one session related parameter.
A user plane entity configured to forward user plane data of a data packet session for a mobile subscriber in a network, at least one service being applied to the data packet session by a service application entity, the user plane entity comprising a memory and at least one processing unit, the memory containing instructions executable by the at least one processing unit, the user plane entity being operative to:
- receive, from a session control entity, a session establishment request for establishing the data packet session, the session establishment request comprising a session control entity identifier allowing the session control entity configured to control the data packet session to be identified;
- and
- transmit a first notification to the service application entity about the session control entity, the first notification allowing the session control entity which will control the data packet session to be identified.
A service application entity configured to apply at least one service to a data packet session of a mobile subscriber in a network and comprising a memory and at least one processing unit, the memory containing instructions executable by the at least one processing unit, the service application entity being to:
- receive a first notification from a user plane entity configured to forward user plane data of the data packet session, the first notification allowing a session control entity which will control the data packet session to be identified;
- transmit a first request to the session control entity requesting to be informed of a current status of at least one session related parameter of the data packet session;
- and
- receive a response to the first request comprising the current status of the at least one session related parameter.
-43. (canceled)
A method for (i) operating a session control entity configured to control a data packet session for a mobile subscriber in a network, at least one service being applied to the data packet session by a service application entity, for (ii) operating a user plane entity configured to forward user plane data of the data packet session for the mobile subscriber in the network, and (iii) for operating the service application entity configured to apply at least one service to the data packet session of the mobile subscriber in the network, the method comprising
- at the session control entity:
- receiving a first request from a requestor requesting application of the at least one service in which it is requested that the requestor be informed of a current status of at least one session related parameter of the data packet session;
- and
- transmitting a first notification to the requestor, the first notification comprising the current status of the at least one session related parameter;
- at the user plane entity:
- receiving, from the session control entity, a session establishment request for establishing the data packet session, the session establishment request comprising a session control entity identifier allowing the session control entity configured to control the data packet session to be identified;
- and
- transmitting a second notification to the service application entity about the session control entity, the second notification allowing the session control entity which will control the data packet session to be identified;
- and
- at the service application entity:
- receiving the second notification from a user plane entity configured to forward user plane data of the data packet session;
- transmitting a first request to the session control entity requesting to be informed of a current status of at least one session related parameter of the data packet session;
- and
- receiving a response to the first request comprising the current status of the at least one session related parameter.
