Abstract
A method and apparatus for performing a service negotiation between a mobile terminal and a server offering mobile services. A service request is received from the mobile terminal including a list of requested services, which is compared with a set of available services that the server can provide. It is then determined which services that were requested but are not available and cannot be provided by the server. A delta list is finally transmitted to the mobile terminal comprising the services not available, such that the mobile terminal can determine which services that can be used. A pre-defined tree structure is preferably used for specifying services in the service request and delta lists such that a single root node specifies all services in nodes subordinated to the root node. In this way, the amount of exchanged information and processing in the mobile terminal are reduced.
