Abstract

The present invention relates to a method usable for managing a connection release of an established connection between two or more parties via a communication network. When the reason for terminating a connection/session between at least two parties is caused by circumstances in the communication network, such as a loss of bearer, this is detected in a first network element. Then the first network element generates a connection terminating message to be used in the connection release procedure into which a new information element is introduced indicating the reason for the connection release, for example the loss of bearer. This reason may be indicated to a user as an optional and additional information. Furthermore, a corresponding system, device and/or terminal equipment are proposed.
