Abstract
Disclosed is a method for controlling a connection, according to which a signaling control device of the communication network triggers a first of several terminal points of the communication, which are connected via a user data channel, to close the user data channel by transmitting a first signaling message. The signaling control device also transmits a confirmation request message to a second of the terminal points of the communication, thereby triggering said second terminal point to transmit a confirmation message to the signaling control device if the user data channel has been successfully closed. If the signaling control device receives the confirmation message, the signaling control device triggers a terminal point of the communication to open at least one new user data channel by transmitting a second signaling message.
