1. A method in a mobile device comprising:
- transmitting a request for a new Internet Protocol (IP) session;
receiving in response to the request an indication that the request cannot be fulfilled because a maximum number of IP sessions is already established for the mobile device in a network area;

Abstract
Systems and methods for determining that a maximum number of IP sessions have been established are provided. There are instances when the mobile device transmits a request to the wireless network. According to an aspect, in the event that the maximum number of IP sessions is already established for the mobile device, the wireless network transmits a response indicating that the request cannot be fulfilled. The mobile device determines based on the response that the maximum number of IP sessions is already established, which allows the mobile device to determine the maximum number of IP sessions that can be supported so that IP sessions can be managed accordingly.
