NOTIFICATION OF A RECEIVING DEVICE ABOUT A FORTHCOMING TRANSMISSION SESSION

摘要

For the notification of a receiving device about a forthcoming transmission session, an identifier of one of various possible types of identifiers in a transmission session is mapped to a transmission session identifier field. This field is used for notifying the receiving device. Further, a repetition value is added to the transmission session identifier field, which indicates whether the forthcoming transmission session is new or not. Further, the receiving device may release context data stored for a particular transmission session identifier, if an acquisition of data in transmission sessions identified by the transmission session identifier can be terminated.
