1. An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor and at least one memory storing computer program code, wherein the at least one memory and stored computer program code are configured, with the at least one processor, to cause the apparatus to at least;
cause request, for a service, of pre-session establishment between a communication entity and a serving entity supporting the service, from the serving entity, the pre-session being entered into from an inactive state,cause activation of an association with a data network for the service via a core network, anddetermine a requirement of a user connection for the service, whereinthe at least one memory and stored computer program code are configured, with the at least one processor, to cause the apparatus to cause request of the pre-session establishment by causing the apparatus to cause request of the pre-session establishment before determining the requirement of the user connection, and whereinthe at least one memory and stored computer program code are configured, with the at least one processor, to cause the apparatus to cause activation of the association with the data network for the service by causing the apparatus to cause activation of the association with the data network for the service after the request for the pre-session establishment when the requirement of the user connection for the service is determined, whereinthe at least one memory and stored computer program code are configured, with the at least one processor, to further cause the apparatus to receive a pre-session establishment indication indicating the pre-session establishment for the service from the serving entity, the pre-session establishment indication comprising a media authorization token.

8. A system, comprising:
-
a first processor configured to request, for a service, pre-session establishment between a communication entity and a serving entity supporting the service, from the serving entity, the pre-session being entered into from an inactive state, cause activation of an association with a data network for the service via a core network, and determine a requirement of a user connection for the service, wherein the first processor is configured to request the pre-session establishment before the requirement of the user connection is determined by the first processor, and wherein the first processor is configured to cause activation of the association with the data network for the service after the request for the pre-session establishment when the requirement of the user connection for the service is determined; a second processor configured to receive the request for the pre-session establishment for the service between the communication entity and the serving entity from the communication entity, perform the pre-session establishment for the service between the communication entity and the serving entity, and cause a pre-session establishment indication indicating the pre-session establishment for the service between the communication entity and the serving entity to be sent towards the communication entity, wherein the pre-session establishment indication comprises a media authorization token; and a network configured to communicate the data between the communication entity and the data network in accordance with the service, wherein the service is supported by the serving entity, and wherein the network is configured to store the pre-session establishment indication indicating the pre-session establishment between the communication entity and the serving entity for the service. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

11. An apparatus, comprising:
-
means for causing requesting, for a service, pre-session establishment between a communication entity and a serving entity supporting the service, from the serving entity, the pre-session being entered into from an inactive state; means for causing activation of an association with a data network for the service via a core network; means for receiving a pre-session establishment indication indicating the pre-session establishment for the service from the serving entity; and means for determining a requirement of a user connection for the service, wherein the means for causing requesting comprise means for causing requesting the pre-session establishment before the requirement of the user connection is determined, the means for causing activation comprises means for causing activation of the association with the data network for the service after the request for the pre-session establishment when the requirement of the user connection for the service is determined, and the pre-session establishment indication comprises a media authorization token.
