Patent ID: 8902746

Claim:
A method in a User Equipment (UE) for limiting excessive packet flow from the UE to a Packet Data Network (PDN), said method comprising the steps of: receiving by the UE from the PDN, an instruction to activate a logic parameter for controlling the packet flow from the improperly behaving UE to the PDN, wherein the UE has at least one previously existing PDN connection; requesting by the UE, configuration of a PDN connection for transmitting packets to the PDN according to the logic parameter in response to receiving the instruction; upon establishment of an Evolved Packet System (EPS) context with a PDN Gateway associated with a defined Access Point Name (APN): utilizing the logic parameter by the UE to limit packet transmissions from the UE on the EPS context; and requesting by the UE, deactivation of all other previously existing PDN connections.
