Claims
- 1. A method in a mobile terminal for providing support for IP signaling, wherein the mobile terminal is in communication with a local user's terminal equipment and is also in communication with a radio network, the method comprising the steps of:
terminating a PATH message transmitted by the user's terminal equipment; determining whether to create a new PDP context or modify an existing PDP context based on the RSVP parameters contained in the PATH message; and transmitting a request to create or modify the PDP context through the radio network.
- 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising the steps of:
receiving a response to the request to create or modify a PDP context from the radio network; generating a RESV message based on the response; and transmitting the RESV message to the terminal equipment.
- 3. The method of claim 1, further comprising the steps of:
instantiating an RSVP proxy in a mode which terminates the IP signaling, whereby the RSVP proxy terminates PATH messages received from the terminal equipment and generates a RESV response based on the PATH message.
- 4. The method of claim 3, further comprising the steps of:
receiving a message from the radio network; determining from the message whether an application in the terminal equipment requires RSVP signaling; generating a PATH message; transmitting the PATH message to the terminal equipment; receiving a RESV message from the terminal equipment; determining requirements for a PDP context; and transmitting a request to create or modify the PDP context through the radio network.
- 5. A method in a mobile terminal for providing support for IP signaling, wherein the mobile terminal is in communication with a local user's terminal equipment and is also in communication with a radio network, the method comprising the steps of:
receiving a message from the radio network; determining from the message whether an application in the terminal equipment requires RSVP signaling; generating a PATH message; transmitting the PATH message to the terminal equipment; receiving a RESV message from the terminal equipment; determining requirements for a PDP context; and transmitting a request to create or modify the PDP context through the radio network.
- 6. The method of claim 5, further comprising the steps of:
running a timer appropriate for RSVP procedures; and transmitting the PATH message to the terminal equipment when the timer expires.
- 7. A method in a mobile terminal for providing support for IP signaling, wherein the mobile terminal is in communication with a local user's terminal equipment and is also in communication with a radio network, the method comprising the steps of:
receiving a PATH message transmitted by the user's terminal equipment; modifying the PATH message according to a local configuration; transmitting the modified PATH message to the radio network; receiving a RESV message from the radio network in response to the PATH message; determining whether to create a new PDP context or modify an existing PDP context based on RSVP parameters contained in the RESV message; transmitting a request to create or modify the PDP context through the radio network; receiving a response to the request to create or modify a PDP context from the radio network; and transmitting the RESV message to the terminal equipment.
- 8. A method in a mobile terminal for providing support for IP signaling, wherein the mobile terminal is in communication with a local user's terminal equipment and is also in communication with a radio network, the method comprising the steps of:
receiving a PATH message from the radio network; transmitting the PATH message to the terminal equipment; receiving a RESV message from the terminal equipment; determining from the RESV message the requirements for a PDP context; transmitting a request to create or modify the PDP context through the radio network; receiving a response to the request to create or modify the PDP context from the radio network; and transmitting the RESV message to the radio network.
- 9. A method to include IP QoS information in a PDP context and to carry the QoS information through a UMTS network, the method comprising the steps of:
including the QoS information in the PDP context; and interworking between the QoS information and RSVP in a GGSN.
