Abstract:
1. A method for use in a packet-switched wireless communications network, comprising: establishing a radio connection to communicate data between a mobile station and a radio network controller; sending, by the radio network controller that includes at least one processor, messages over one or more traffic channels in the radio connection to establish a packet-switched services session between the mobile station and the radio network controller, wherein the messages include one or more messages to obtain a location update of the mobile station; determining, by the radio network controller, if all messages including the one or more messages to obtain the location update of the mobile station for establishing the packet-switched services session have been exchanged between the mobile station and the radio network controller; and preventing the radio connection from being closed by preventing sending of a configuration complete message from the radio network controller to the mobile station in response to the radio network controller determining that not all messages including the one or more messages to obtain the location update of the mobile station for establishing the packet-switched services session have been exchanged between the mobile station and the radio network controller.
