1. A method for transmitting Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) data by an idle mode User Equipment (UE) in a mobile communication Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) system, the method comprising the steps of:
- delivering SIP data received from an upper layer in an idle mode to a Non Access Stratum (NAS) layer;
setting a message type of a NAS control message, by the NAS layer, as a Long Term Evolution (LTE) connection request message comprising the SIP data;
setting an indicator and length information of the SIP data in the NAS control message in front of a part where the SIP data is to be included, generating a single combined message by attaching the SIP data to the rear of the length information of the NAS control message, and delivering the generated single combined message to an Access Stratum (AS) layer;
generating an AS control message by the AS layer, and generating an LTE connection request message by the AS layer by combining the generated combined message with the AS control message;
sending a scheduling request to an Evolved Radio Access Network (E-RAN); and
sending the LTE connection request message to the E-RAN using allocated radio resources in response to a scheduling response message received from the E-RAN.

Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided for transmitting a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) message by a User Equipment (UE) in an idle mode in an Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) system. The UE transmits one combined message of an AS control message and a NAS control message including information indicating transmission of an SIP message, thereby having an effect on an upper node to reduce a delay due to message processing.

4. A method for transmitting Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) data of an idle mode User Equipment (UE) in a mobile communication Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) system, the method comprising the steps of:
-
receiving a Long Term Evolution (LTE) connection request message from the idle mode UE, and checking message type information of a Non Access Stratum (NAS) control message included in the LTE connection request message; when the message type information indicates an LTE connection request message comprising SIP data, processing NAS control information of the NAS control message, extracting indicator and length information for the SIP data from the NAS control message, and analyzing the extracted indicator and the length information; extracting the SIP data from the LTE connection request message; sending an LTE connection response message to an Evolved Radio Access Network (E-RAN) to set up an SIP Radio Access Bearer (RAB) to the UE; sending the SIP data to a corresponding destination network node using NAS control information included in the NAS control message; and sending response SIP data through the SIP RAB, upon receipt of the response SIP data for the SIP data. - View Dependent Claims (5)

6. A method for transmitting/receiving data through a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) in a mobile communication system, the method comprising the steps of:
-
including data to be transmitted through the SIP in a connection request message composed of Access Stratum (AS) control information needed in an Evolved Radio Access Network (E-RAN) and Non Access Stratum (NAS) control information needed in an Evolved Core Network (E-CN), and sending the connection request message to the E-CN, by an idle mode User Equipment (UE); setting a Radio Access Bearer (RAB) for transmitting the data using the NAS control information, and sending a connection response message comprising the AS control information to the E-RAN, by the E-CN; and setting up a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection for transmitting the data using the AS control information, and sending the connection response message to the UE, by the E-RAN. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
