Claim:
1. A method performed under control of a first device, the method comprising: generating, by a processor coupled to the first device, a present session identifier to establish a present session between the first device and a second device; generating, by the processor coupled to the first device, information that includes a split part of a next session identifier to be used in a next session between the first device and the second device and includes a configuration scheme, wherein the next session follows the present session between the first device and the second device, wherein the split part of the next session identifier is distinct from the next session identifier, and wherein the configuration scheme specifies a scheme to combine the split part of the next session identifier with the next session identifier; determining, by the processor coupled to the first device, whether the second device has a same session identifier as the present session identifier; establishing, by the processor coupled to the first device, the present session after a determination that the second device has the same session identifier as the present session identifier; and transmitting, by a transmitter coupled to the first device, the information to the second device, wherein the information includes a configuration scheme to combine a split part of at least one field of at least one of a plurality of next session identifiers with at least one of the plurality of next session identifiers, wherein the next session identifier is generated by the second device based on at least two configuration schemes, and wherein each of the at least two configuration schemes corresponds to a session that precedes the next session.
