Abstract: A method, a system, and network elements for transmitting information between a user equipment and an IP packet gateway, are disclosed, the IP packet gateway communicating with an IP network via an interface, wherein, when the UE is requesting at least one service requiring access to the IP network, authorization of the requested service is checked, wherein an error message is sent from the IP packet gateway to the user equipment, when the requested service is not authorized. The present invention discloses several options of signaling error messages between IP packet gateway and UE, for example, via IP layer signaling (e.g. RESV ERR messages) or link layer signaling (e.g. IS2000 and IOS signaling). The solution according to the present invention, in particular, relates to a CDMA network in connection with an IP multimedia subsystem network.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a packet data communication system and a method for use in a packet data communication system. The system includes at least one access network configured to provide a wireless interface between a mobile device and the access network for communication of packet data and a core network including at least one core network node for supporting the communication of packet data on the wireless interface. A controller is provided in association with the access network and configured to monitor at least one condition associated with the wireless interface. If the monitoring indicates that the at least one condition is met, the controller sends messages to the core network node in response to messages from the core network node.
