METHOD, MOBILE TERMINAL AND NETWORK ELEMENT FOR ESTABLISHING A COMMUNICATION CONNECTION, PREFERABLY AN IP AND/OR DATA CONNECTION, BETWEEN A MOBILE TERMINAL IN A MOBILE COMMUNICATION NETWORK AND A SERVICE PROVIDER IN A DATA COMMUNICATION NETWORK

摘要

The invention refers to a method for establishing 205 a communication connection, preferably an IP and/or data connection, between a mobile terminal 20 in a mobile communication network 50 and a service provider 60 in a data communication network 70, comprising the steps of: - sending 101, 201 a request for establishing 205 the communication connection between the mobile terminal 20 in the mobile communication network 50 and the service provider 60 in the data communication network 70 originating from an application 10 or type of application of the mobile terminal 20 to a network element 30 of the mobile communication network 50, - determining 202 the application 10 or type of application requesting 101, 201 the communication connection; - determining 203 the location of the mobile terminal 20 in the mobile communication network 50; - identifying 204 a gateway 40 between the mobile communication network 50 and the data communication network 70 by the network element 30 of the mobile communication network 50 for the requested 101, 201 communication connection by considering the determined 202 application 10 or type of application requesting 101, 201 the communication connection and the determined 203 location of the mobile terminal 20 in the mobile communication network 50; and - establishing 205 the requested 101, 201 communication connection between the mobile terminal 20 in the mobile communication network 50 and the service provider 60 in the data communication network 70 by the network element 30 of the mobile communication network 50 via the identified 204 gateway 40 between the mobile communication network 50 and the data communication network 70. The invention further relates to a mobile terminal 20 and a network element 30 which are adapted to perform the method steps according to the invention performed by such a mobile terminal 20 respectively network element 30.
