Patent ID: 8289848

Claim:
A method in a User Equipment (UE) for limiting packet flow from the UE to a communication network, said method comprising the steps of: receiving from the network, an instruction to activate a logic parameter for controlling the packet flow from the UE to the network, wherein the receiving step includes receiving from a device management server, the logic parameter and a flag to activate the logic parameter; requesting configuration of a network connection for transmitting packets to the network according to the logic parameter; and requesting deactivation of all other network connections; wherein the UE utilizes UE-requested Evolved Packet System (EPS) Session Management (SM) procedures for EPS contexts, and the device management server is an Open Mobile Alliance Device Management (OMA DM) server, and the step of receiving the logic parameter and the flag includes receiving from the OMA DM server, a modified Selective Disabling of 3GPP UE Capabilities Management Object (SDoUE MO+) that includes the logic parameter and the flag.
