METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SESSION NEGOTIATION IN A MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND SYSTEM THEREOF

摘要

Provided is a method and apparatus in a mobile communication system, which can achieve efficient session negotiation when an Access Terminal (AT) and an Access Network Transceiver System (ANTS) of the mobile communication system have different parameters for a session setup therebetween. The method includes selecting a configuration attribute from among configuration attributes for session negotiation, determining if the AT and the session controller have assured to use an enhanced configuration request message for the selected configuration attribute, and if so, the AT transmits an enhanced configuration request message including an identifier of the selected configuration attribute without a list of attribute values that the AT wants to use for the selected configuration attribute to the session controller.
