Abstract
A method of deciding to release communication resources used for a network access server session in a communication network is provided, wherein the method involves receiving an Accounting Stop Request for a PDP context associated to the network access server session, deciding whether a Session Stop Indicator is included in the Accounting Stop Request, in case no Session Stop Indicator is included deciding whether further PDP contexts are associated with the network access server session, in case no further PDP context is associated with the network access server session, starting an IDLE Timer to determine a point in time for releasing the communication resources.
Claims13
A method of deciding to release communication resources used for a network access server session in a communication network, the method comprising:
- receiving an accounting stop request for a Packet Data Protocol (PDP) context associated with the network access server session;
- determining whether a session stop indicator is included in the accounting stop request;
- determining whether further PDP contexts are associated with the network access server session when a determination is made that no session stop indicator is included in the accounting stop request;
- and
- starting an IDLE timer to determine a point in time to release the communication resources when a determination is made that no further PDP contexts are associated with the network access server session.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium, in which a computer program is stored to cause a processor to execute a method, comprising:
- receiving an accounting stop request for a Packet Data Protocol (PDP) context associated with a network access server session in a communication network;
- determining whether a session stop indicator is included in the accounting stop request;
- determining whether further PDP contexts are associated with the network access server session when a determination is made that no session stop indicator is included in the accounting stop request;
- and
- starting an IDLE timer to determine a point in time to release communication resources used for the network access server session when a determination is made that no further PDP contexts are associated with the network access server session.
