Abstract

A method for controlling packet service setup includes the steps of: transmitting a packet service request message containing a requested QoS to a packet service node by a mobile communication terminal; transmitting to the mobile communication terminal a packet service request response message including an assigned QoS determined in consideration of the requested QoS and network resources contained in the message received by the packet service node; comparing one or more parameter values among parameters contained in the assigned QoS contained in the packet service request response message from a mobile communication network with corresponding one or more parameter values among parameters contained in the QoS requested by the mobile communication terminal; and transmitting a packet service cancel request message if a difference between the parameter values is greater than or equal to a preset value.

Claims

1. A method for controlling packet service setup by quality of service (QoS) in a mobile communication terminal, comprising:

transmitting to a packet service node a packet service request message for packet exchange path setup;

receiving a packet service request response message from the packet service node;

comparing a transmission speed, which is contained in an assigned QoS parameter of information contained in the packet service request response message, with a preset transmission speed; and

transmitting a packet service cancel request message to the packet service node to cancel the packet exchange path setup if the transmission speed contained in the assigned QoS parameter is lower than the preset transmission speed.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein transmitting the packet service cancel request message to the packet service node is performed by a user'"'"'s command.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the transmission speed is a downlink transmission speed.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the packet service node is a Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN).

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the packet service request message is a packet data protocol context activation request message.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the packet service request response message is a packet data protocol context activation accept message.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the packet service cancel request message is a packet data protocol context activation cancel message.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the transmission speed is a downlink transmission speed.

9. A method for controlling packet service setup by quality of service (QoS) in a mobile communication terminal, comprising:

transmitting to a packet service node a packet service request message for packet exchange path setup;

receiving a packet service request response message from the packet service node;

displaying a transmission state that is contained in an assigned QoS parameter of information contained in the packet service request response message; and

transmitting a packet service cancel request message to the packet service node to cancel the packet exchange path setup by a user'"'"'s command.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the transmission state is a transmission speed.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein the transmission speed is a downlink transmission speed.

12. The method of claim 9, wherein the packet service node is a Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN).

13. The method of claim 12, wherein the packet service request message is a packet data protocol context activation request message.

14. The method of claim 13, wherein the packet service request response message is a packet data protocol context activation accept message.

15. The method of claim 14, wherein the packet service cancel request message is a packet data protocol context activation cancel message.

16. The method of claim 15, wherein the transmission state is a transmission speed.

17. The method of claim 16, wherein the transmission speed is a downlink transmission speed.

18. A mobile communication system, comprising:

a packet service node; and

a mobile communication terminal;

wherein the packet service node receives a packet service request message from the mobile communication terminal, and transmits to the mobile communication terminal a packet service request response message containing an assigned quality of service (QoS); and

wherein the mobile communication terminal transmits a packet service request message to the packet service node, receives the packet service request response message from the packet service node, compares a transmission speed parameter of QoS parameters contained in the packet service request response message with a preset transmission speed, and transmits a packet service cancel request message to the packet service node to cancel the packet exchange path setup, if the transmission speed contained in the packet service request response message is lower than the preset transmission speed.

19. The method of claim 18, wherein transmitting a packet service cancel request message to the packet service node is performed by a user'"'"'s command.

20. The mobile communication system of claim 18, wherein the packet service node is a Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN).

21. The mobile communication system of claim 20, wherein the packet service request message is a packet data protocol context activation request message.

22. The mobile communication system of claim 21, wherein the packet service request response message is a packet data protocol context activation accept message.

23. The mobile communication system of claim 22, wherein the packet service cancel request message is a packet data protocol context activation cancel message.

24. A mobile communication system, comprising:

a packet service node; and

a mobile communication terminal;

wherein the packet service node receives a packet service request message from the mobile communication terminal and transmits to the mobile communication terminal a packet service request response message containing an assigned quality of service (QoS); and

wherein the mobile communication terminal transmits a packet service request message to the packet service node, receives the packet service request response message from the packet service node, displays a transmission state that is contained in an assigned QoS parameter of information contained in the packet service request response message and transmit a packet service cancel request message to the packet service node to cancel the packet exchange path setup by a user'"'"'s command.

25. The mobile communication system of claim 24, wherein the transmission state is a transmission speed.

26. The mobile communication system of claim 24, wherein the packet service node is a Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN).

27. The mobile communication system of claim 26, wherein the packet service request message is a packet data protocol context activation request message.

28. The mobile communication system of claim 27, wherein the packet service request response message is a packet data protocol context activation accept message.

29. The mobile communication system of claim 28, wherein the packet service cancel request message is a packet data protocol context activation cancel message.

30. The mobile communication system of claim 29, wherein the transmission state is a transmission speed.
