`U.S. Patent No. 9,667,669 Claim Listing
`
`Limitation
`A method for managing associated sessions in a network, the network having a
`network element configured for managing associated sessions between the
`network and at least one user equipment, the method comprising:
`providing a composition session identifier for associating sessions in the
`network;
`after providing the composition session identifier, exchanging the composition
`session identifier between a user equipment and the network element a first
`time;
`associating two or more sessions with the composition session identifier by
`exchanging the composition session identifier at least a second time, wherein
`exchanging the composition session identifier at least a second time comprises
`the network element exchanging the composition session identifier with the
`user equipment;
`initiating establishment of a composition session, the composition session
`being a signaling session for facilitating management of the two or more
`sessions and exchanging the composition session identifier between the user
`equipment and the network element as part of said establishment, the
`composition session being different from the two or more sessions; and
`
`modifying the composition session, wherein modifying the composition
`session comprises using signaling in the composition session to terminate all
`of the two or more sessions.
`
`The method according to claim 1, wherein providing the composition identifier
`comprises:
`the user equipment generating the composition session identifier; and
`sending a request for initiating the composition session from the user
`equipment to the network element, the request comprising the composition
`session identifier.
`The method according to claim 2, wherein the request for initiating the
`composition session further comprises one or more session identifiers and,
`optionally, resource reservation information and/or resource allocation
`information associated with the one or more sessions identified by the session
`identifiers.
`The method according to claim 1, wherein the method further comprises:
`the user equipment initiating the two or more associated sessions by sending
`two or more session initiation requests for a session to the network element,
`each request comprising the composition session identifier.
`The method according to claim 1, wherein the method further comprises:
`the network element initiating the two or more associated sessions by sending
`two or more requests for a session to the user equipment, each request
`comprising the composition session identifier.

`
`
`The method according to claim 1, wherein combined streams of the two or
`more associated sessions are presented to the user equipment as a personalized
`composed multimedia stream.
`The method according to claim 1, wherein the network further comprises
`storage, the method further comprising:
`the network element storing the composition session identifier and two or
`more associated session identifiers in the storage.
`The method according to claim 1, the method further comprising:
`modifying the composition session by at least one of (i) modifying at least one
`of the two or more sessions in the composition session, or (ii) transferring at
`least one of the two or more sessions from the composition session to a further
`composition session or outside the composition session.
`A method for managing associated sessions in a network, the network having a
`network element configured for managing associated sessions between the
`network and at least one user equipment, the method comprising:
`providing a composition session identifier for associating sessions in the
`network;
`after providing the composition session identifier, exchanging the composition
`session identifier between a user equipment and the network element a first
`time;
`associating two or more sessions with the composition session identifier by
`exchanging the composition session identifier at least a second time, wherein
`exchanging the composition session identifier at least a second time comprises
`the network element exchanging the composition session identifier with the
`user equipment;
`initiating establishment of a composition session, the composition session
`being a signaling session for facilitating management of the two or more
`sessions and exchanging the composition session identifier between the user
`equipment and the network element as part of said establishment, the
`composition session being different from the two or more sessions; and
`modifying, using signaling in the composition session, all of the two or more
`sessions.
`The method according to claim 21, wherein modifying, using the composition
`session, comprises modifying at least one of the two or more sessions based on
`a determined change in bandwidth availability.
`The method according to claim 21, wherein modifying, using the signaling in
`the composition session, comprises signaling in the composition session a
`duration for all of the two or more sessions.
`The method according to claim 21, wherein modifying, using the signaling in
`the composition session, comprises signaling in the composition session a
`bandwidth requirement for all of the two or more sessions.
