System and method for deactivating ip sessions of lower priority

摘要

Systems and Methods are provided for deactivating IP sessions of lower priority. There may be instances when a mobile device moves from a first area supporting a plurality of IP sessions to a second area supporting fewer IP sessions. In this situation, if the mobile device has more IP sessions than is supported by the second area, then the wireless network will deactivate IP sessions. According to an embodiment of the application, the mobile device determines a respective priority for each of the II' M sessions and transmits an indication of each respective priority to the wireless network. According to another embodiment of the application, the wireless network deactivates II' sessions that are indicated to be of lower priority. Accordingly, IP sessions that are not deactivated are those indicated by the mobile device to be of greater priority.
