<p>Response-timer problems due to optional features in communication networks are addressed by having a node such as an MSC/VLR that uses the optional feature promptly respond to another node's request for information with a message indicating that the node has implemented the optional feature. This indication can be implemented either as a new message or as a suitable information element in a message already usually sent from one node to the other. Upon receiving such a prompt response, the node would adjust its response-monitoring timer to a value appropriate for the optional feature. Nodes in the communication network may also generate messages indicating that they implement the optional feature.</p> |
