Abstract

Apparatus, and an associated method, for facilitating concurrent effectuation of more than one packet data communication session at a mobile node. Both a normal packet data communication session and, for instance, an IOTA provisioning session are concurrently performed. A second packet data session initiator initiates the communication session through generation of a registration request. A communication session is formed, and a communicator communicates pursuant to the communication session, concurrent with performance of the first packet data communication session. Because both communication sessions are concurrently performable, one or the other of the communication sessions need not be terminated to permit the other of the communication sessions to be performed.
