摘要 |
The present invention relates to a communications system supporting communication of packet data, comprising a network with a number of packet data core nodes (SGSN, CGSN) handling connections with mobile stations (MS), said system further supporting a functionality of prolonging packet switched (PS) signalling connections between a mobile station (MS) and a network packet data node (SGSN; CGSN). At least some of said packet data nodes comprise means for providing information to a mobile station, having sent a request on an established signalling connection to the packet data node, as to whether a PS signalling connection is or is to be prolonged or not.
