Abstract:
The method and apparatus for accelerating connection establishment in a mobile communications system are provided. The method includes transmitting, by a user equipment, an Activate PDP Context Request to a network; determining whether the user equipment can be confirmed that the network received the Activate PDP Context Request by an lower layer; shortening a default timer value and retransmitting the Activate PDP Context Request to the network after the shortened default value if the lower layer does not confirm that the network received the Activate PDP Context Request; and preserving the default timer value if the lower layer confirms that the network received the Activate PDP Context Request.
