System and method for managing IP sessions based on how many IP sessions are supported
First Claim
1. A method in a wireless network comprising:
- determining how many IP sessions can be supported for a mobile device residing in a given area; and
transmitting to the mobile device an identification of how many IP sessions can be supported in the given area;
determining how many IP sessions can be supported for a mobile device for each of a plurality of areas; and
transmitting to the mobile device an identification of how many IP sessions can be supported for each of the plurality of areas;
wherein the identifications are stored locally on the mobile device thereby allowing the mobile device to manage IP sessions based on the identifications.

Abstract
Systems and Method are provided for managing IP sessions based on how many IP sessions are supported. According to an embodiment of the application, the wireless network determines how many IP sessions can be supported for the mobile device residing in a given area such as a routing area, and to transmit to the mobile device an identification of how many IP sessions can be supported. According to another embodiment of the application, the mobile device receives the identification of how many IP sessions can be established, and manages IP sessions based on the identification. Since the mobile device is privy to how many IP sessions can be established, the mobile device is able to properly manage IP sessions.
