CONTROLLING A PACKET FLOW FROM A USER EQUIPMENT

摘要

A method and User Equipment (UE) for limiting excessive packet flow from the UE to a communication network. The UE receives from the network, an instruction to activate a logic parameter for controlling the packet flow from the UE to the network. In response to receiving the instruction, the UE requests configuration of a network connection for transmitting packets to the network according to the logic parameter. The UE then requests deactivation of all other network connections upon successful configuration of the network connection for transmitting packets to the network according to the logic parameter.

1. A method in a User Equipment (UE) for restricting packet flow transmission from the UE to a Packet Data Network (PDN), the method comprising the steps of:
receiving by the UE, an instruction to restrict packet flow transmission from the UE to the PDN, wherein the UE has at least one previously existing PDN connection; in response to receiving the instruction, requesting by the UE, establishment of a new PDN connection in accordance with the received instruction; upon establishment of the new PDN connection:
requesting by the UE, deactivation of the at least one previously existing PDN connection; andutilizing the new PDN connection for packet flow transmission from the UE to the PDN.
