System and method for negotiating application supporting ability between terminal and base station (BS)

A system for a terminal to negotiate application support ability with a base station, the system comprising a terminal and a base station, wherein

• the terminal is configured to identify the terminal supported application subtypes using different subtype values during session negotiation with the base station, and/or recognize the base station supported application subtypes identified using different subtype values by the bases station;
• and
• the base station is configured to recognize the terminal supported application subtypes identified using different subtype values by the terminal during session negotiation with the terminal, and/or identify the base station supported application subtypes using different subtype values;
• wherein the terminal and base station are configured to identify the following application subtypes using different subtype values during the session negotiation between the terminal and base station;
• an alternate enhanced multi-flow packet application subtype, an alternate multi-flow packet application subtype, and an alternate multi-link multi-flow packet application subtype, and wherein
• the alternate enhanced multi-flow packet application subtype indicates that the enhanced multi-flow packet application subtype has the interoperation ability;
• the alternate multi-flow packet application subtype indicates that the multi-flow packet application subtype has the interoperation ability;
• and
• the alternate multi-link multi-flow packet application subtype indicates that the multi-link multi-flow packet application subtype has the interoperation ability;
• and
• wherein the alternate enhanced multi-flow packet application subtype is identified using any one of 0xFFFE, 0xFFFD, or 0xFFFC;
• the alternate multi-flow packet application subtype is identified using any one of 0xFFFE, 0xFFFD, or 0xFFFC, which is different from a value of the alternate enhanced multi-flow packet application subtype;
• and
• the alternate multi-link multi-flow packet application subtype is identified using any one of 0xFFFE, 0xFFFD, or 0xFFFC, which is different from a value of the alternate enhanced multi-flow packet application subtype and a value of the alternate multi-flow packet application subtype.
