In one embodiment, a method is provided for customization of a mobile communications device's data session retry mechanism in a wireless packet data service network. The mobile communication device requests activation of a data session with a node via the wireless network and receives a reject message via the wireless network in response to the request for activation of the data session, the reject message including a cause code. If the cause code corresponds to a no-retry behavior of the data session retry mechanism of the mobile communication device, the mobile communications device no longer requesting activation of a data session with the node.

The present patent application generally relates to wireless packet data service networks. More particularly, and not by way of any limitation, the present patent application is directed to a scheme for customization of a mobile device's data session retry mechanism in a wireless packet data service network.
Radio resources in a wireless packet data service network are scarce. When a data-centric mobile device continues to negotiate with the network infrastructure for establishing a data session even after it receives certain reject codes, such repeated attempts can contribute to an increase in the signaling load in the network whereby the overall performance of the network may be negatively impacted.
A more complete understanding of the embodiments of the present patent application may be had by reference to the following Detailed Description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 depicts an exemplary network environment including a wireless packet data service network wherein an embodiment of the present patent application may be practiced;
FIG. 2A depicts additional details of an exemplary wireless packet data service network operable with a mobile communications device in accordance with an embodiment;
In one aspect, an embodiment of a mobile communications device is disclosed. The claimed embodiment comprises at least one or more of the following features: means for detecting that a code has been received at the mobile communications device from an external node; means for determining whether the code is identified as a critical code; and means for disabling a data session retry mechanism of the mobile communications device if the code is identified as a critical code.
In another aspect, an embodiment of a method for controlling a mobile communications device is disclosed. The claimed embodiment comprises at least one or more of the following features: detecting that a code has been received at the mobile communications device from an external node; determining whether the code is identified as a critical code; and disabling a data session retry mechanism of the mobile communications device responsive to a determination that the code is identified as a critical code.
In yet another aspect, an embodiment of a network node is disclosed. The claimed embodiment comprises at least one or more of the following features: a structure configured to receive a code; a structure configured to query a database to determine whether the code received at the node is identified in the database as a critical code; and a structure configured to a communicate to a mobile communications device whether the code received at the node is identified in the database as a critical code, thereby disabling a data session retry mechanism of the mobile communications device if the code is identified in the database as a critical code.
