Method for allowing a UICC to manage the PDP context parameters

A method performed by a mobile equipment for allowing a Universal Integrated Circuit Card (UICC) to set up data bearer parameters for a wireless communication between a user equipment and a remote server in a telecommunication network, said user equipment comprising said UICC and said mobile equipment, said method comprising:

• receiving from the UICC Packet Data Protocol (PDP) context parameters within a specific command defined for activating a PDP context, said specific command comprising an access point name for identifying said remote server;
• on reception of said specific command, transmitting a PDP context activation request, including said access point name and the PDP context parameters received in said specific command, to the telecommunication network;
• receiving from the telecommunication network a confirmation for a PDP context activation;
• and
• on said receiving of the confirmation, sending a response message to the UICC for confirming a successful command performance,
• wherein, in a case a PDP context is already activated for a mobile equipment application prior to said specific command from the UICC, and in a case current parameters of the already activated PDP context fit UICC needs, said mobile equipment notifies the UICC about parameters of the already activated PDP context.

A mobile equipment for allowing a Universal Integrated Circuit Card (UICC) to set up data bearer parameters for a wireless communication between a user equipment and a remote server in a telecommunication network, said user equipment comprising said UICC and said mobile equipment, said mobile equipment comprising:

• a receiver operable to receive from the UICC Packet Data Protocol (PDP) context parameters within a specific command defined for activating, said specific command comprising an access point name for identifying said remote server;
• and
• a transmitter operable to, on a reception of said specific command, transmit a PDP context activation request, including said access point name and the PDP context parameters received in said specific command, to the telecommunication network,
• the receiver being operable to receive from the telecommunication network a confirmation for a PDP context activation, and
• the transmitter being operable to, on a receipt of the confirmation, send a response message to the UICC for confirming a successful command performance,
• wherein, in a case a PDP context is already activated for a mobile equipment application prior to said specific command from the UICC, and in a case current parameters of the already activated PDP context fit UICC needs, said transmitter is operable to notify the UICC about parameters of the already activated PDP context.
