Abstract:
1. A method of managing a state memory adapted for storing state information applicable in a message communication between first and second communications units in a communications system, the method comprising the steps of: defining at least two message classes of the messages communicated between said first and second communications units; and dividing said state memory into at least two memory portions, each memory portion being assigned for storing state information associated with a specific message class; analysing a message communicated between said first and second communications units and determining to which message class the message belongs based on the message name; wherein said state memory is arranged in the first communication unit and is allocated for storing state information used in message communication with the second communications unit; and wherein the method further comprises said second communications unit requesting said first communications unit to allocate state memory space utilized for storing said state information used in said message communication with said second communications unit; wherein the defining step comprises defining said at least two message classes based on at least one of: a priority type of said communications messages between the first and second communications units; an application protocol used when generating said communications messages between the first and second communications units; and a session type associated with communications messages between the first and second communications units.
