Abstract
A method and system for avoiding hanging Packet Data Protocol (PDP) contexts in a General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) network. A time-out period is included in a request message to create a PDP context. The request message is transmitted from a first GPRS Support Node (GSN) to a second GSN. The second GSN receives the request message and transmits a response message to the first GSN. If the second GSN is unable to create the PDP context within the time-out period the response message informs the first GSN that creation of the PDP context has been aborted. A Network Service Access Point Identifier (NSAPI) may be included in the response message so that the first GSN may request the second GSN to delete the request for creating the PDP context after a N3-T3 timeout of the first GSN has expired.

Claim
1. A method for avoiding hanging Packet Data Protocol (PDP) contexts in a General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) network, the method comprising:
including by a Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN), a time-out period in a request message to create a PDP context;
transmitting the request message from the SGSN to a Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN);
receiving the request message in the GGSN;
initiating creation of a PDP context by the GGSN in response to receiving the request message;
determining by the GGSN whether creation of the PDP context is completed before the time-out period received in the request message expires;
when creation of the PDP context is completed before the time-out period received in the request message expires, sending a first type of response message from the GGSN to the SGSN indicating the PDP context has been created and including identifying information for the PDP context; and
when creation of the PDP context is not completed before the time-out period received in the request message expires:
aborting creation of the PDP context; and
sending a second type of response message from the GGSN to the SGSN indicating creation of the PDP context has been aborted.', 'including by a Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN), a time-out period in a request message to create a PDP context;', 'transmitting the request message from the SGSN to a Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN);', 'receiving the request message in the GGSN;', 'initiating creation of a PDP context by the GGSN in response to receiving the request message;', 'determining by the GGSN whether creation of the PDP context is completed before the time-out period received in the request message expires;', 'when creation of the PDP context is completed before the time-out period received in the request message expires, sending a first type of response message from the GGSN to the SGSN indicating the PDP context has been created and including identifying information for the PDP context; and', 'when creation of the PDP context is not completed before the time-out period received in the request message expires:
aborting creation of the PDP context; and
sending a second type of response message from the GGSN to the SGSN indicating creation of the PDP context has been aborted.', 'aborting creation of the PDP context; and', 'sending a second type of response message from the GGSN to the SGSN indicating creation of the PDP context has been aborted.
2. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the request message is a GPRS Tunneling Protocol (GTP) Create PDP Context Request message.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the time-out period is unique to each request message.
5. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the time-out period received in the request message is shorter than a N3-T3 time-out period associated with the SGSN.
6. A non-transitory computer-readable medium in a Gateway GPRS Service Node (GGSN), wherein the medium is configured to store instructions for avoiding hanging Packet Data Protocol (PDP) contexts in a General Packet Radio Service network, the instructions for:
receiving from a Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN), a request message to create a PDP context, the request message including a time-out period;
initiating creation of a PDP context in response to receiving the request message;
determining whether creation of the PDP context is completed before the time-out period received in the request message expires;
when creation of the PDP context is completed before the time-out period received in the request message expires, sending a first type of response message from the GGSN to the SGSN indicating the PDP context has been created and including identifying information for the PDP context; and
when creation of the PDP context is not completed before the time-out period received in the request message expires:
aborting creation of the PDP context; and
sending a second type of response message from the GGSN to the SGSN indicating creation of the PDP context has been aborted.', 'receiving from a Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN), a request message to create a PDP context, the request message including a time-out period;', 'initiating creation of a PDP context in response to receiving the request message;', 'determining whether creation of the PDP context is completed before the time-out period received in the request message expires;', 'when creation of the PDP context is completed before the time-out period received in the request message expires, sending a first type of response message from the GGSN to the SGSN indicating the PDP context has been created and including identifying information for the PDP context; and', 'when creation of the PDP context is not completed before the time-out period received in the request message expires:

8. The non-transitory computer-readable medium as claimed in claim 6, wherein the response message is a GPRS Tunneling Protocol (GTP) Create PDP Context Response message.
9. The non-transitory computer-readable medium as claimed in claim 6, wherein the time-out period is unique to each request message
