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 of avoiding hanging Packet Data Protocol (PDP) contexts in a General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) network, the method comprising:
receiving in a Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN), a request message from a Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN) to create a PDP context, the request message including a response time period;
initiating creation of the PDP context by the GGSN in response to receiving the request message;
when creation of the PDP context is completed before the response time period expires, sending a response message from the GGSN to the SGSN with a first cause value 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 response time period expires:
aborting creation of the PDP context; and
sending the response message from the GGSN to the SGSN with a second cause value indicating creation of the PDP context has been aborted.', 'receiving in a Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN), a request message from a Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN) to create a PDP context, the request message including a response time period;', 'initiating creation of the PDP context by the GGSN in response to receiving the request message;', 'when creation of the PDP context is completed before the response time period expires, sending a response message from the GGSN to the SGSN with a first cause value 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 response time period expires:
aborting creation of the PDP context; and
sending the response message from the GGSN to the SGSN with a second cause value indicating creation of the PDP context has been aborted.', 'aborting creation of the PDP context; and', 'sending the response message from the GGSN to the SGSN with a second cause value indicating creation of the PDP context has been aborted.
2. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the request message is a Create POP Context Request message and the response message is a Create PDP Context Response message.
3. The method as claimed in claim 2, wherein the Create PDP Context Request message and the Create PDP Context Response message are structured, transmitted, and received in accordance with GPRS Tunneling Protocol (GTP).
4. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the response time period is shorter than a N3-T3time-out period associated with the SGSN.
5. A Gateway GPRS Service Node (GGSN) configured to avoid hanging Packet Data Protocol (PDP) contexts in a General Packet Radio Service network, the GGSN including a processor coupled to a non-transitory computer-readable medium for storing computer program instructions, wherein when the processor executes the computer program instructions, the GGSN is caused to:
receive a request message from a Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN) to create a PDP context, the request message including a response time period;
initiate creation of the PDP context in response to receiving the request message;
when creation of the PDP context is completed before the response time period expires, send a response message from the GGSN to the SGSN with a first cause value 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 response time period expires:
abort creation of the PDP context; and
send the response message from the GGSN to the SGSN with a second cause value indicating creation of the PDP context has been aborted.', 'receive a request message from a Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN) to create a PDP context, the request message including a response time period;', 'initiate creation of the PDP context in response to receiving the request message;', 'when creation of the PDP context is completed before the response time period expires, send a response message from the GGSN to the SGSN with a first cause value 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 response time period expires:
abort creation of the PDP context; and
send the response message from the GGSN to the SGSN with a second cause value indicating creation of the PDP context has been aborted.', 'abort creation of the PDP context; and', 'send the response message from the GGSN to the SGSN with a second cause value indicating creation of the PDP context has been aborted.
6. The GGSN as claimed in claim 5, wherein the request message is a Create PDP Context Request message and the response message is a Create PDP Context Response message.
7. The GGSN as claimed in claim 6, wherein the Create PDP Context Request message and the Create PDP Context Response message are structured, transmitted, and received in accordance with GPRS Tunneling Protocol (GTP).
8. The GGSN as claimed in claim 5, wherein the response time period is shorter than a N3-T3 time-out period associated with the SGSN.
9. A method of avoiding hanging Packet Data Protocol (PDP) contexts in a General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) network, the method comprising:
sending a request message from a Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN) to a Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN) to create a PDP context;
receiving by the SGSN, a response message from the GGSN after expiration of a N3-T3time-out period associated with the SGSN, the response message indicating the PDP context has been created, and including a Network Service Access Point Identifier (NSAPI); and
utilizing the NSAPI by the SGSN to send a delete request to the GGSN to remove the PDP context in the GGSN.', 'sending a request message from a Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN) to a Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN) to create a PDP context;', 'receiving by the SGSN, a response message from the GGSN after expiration of a N3-T3time-out period associated with the SGSN, the response message indicating the PDP context has been created, and including a Network Service Access Point Identifier (NSAPI); and', 'utilizing the NSAPI by the SGSN to send a delete request to the GGSN to remove the PDP context in the GGSN
10. The method as claimed in claim 9, wherein the request message is a Create PDP Context Request message and the response message is a Create PDP Context Response message
11. The method as claimed in claim 10, wherein the NSAPI is included in a new information element in the Create PDP Context Response message
12. The method as claimed in claim 10, wherein the NSAPI is included in a private extension in the Create PDP Context Response message.']
