Abstract:
In packet communication paths (18) that include header compression, header fields of packets to be communicated are altered. The alteration of the header fields (14) does not disturb their functionality, and its transparent to the header compression scheme of the packet communication path (18). The altered header fields (14) are provided for compression by the header compression scheme, resulting in improved performance of the header compression scheme. Performance improvements can also be achieved in packet communication paths (18) that do not use header compression, by violating the integrity of header fields in packets to be transmitted over the packet communication path (18).

Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for providing radio access bearer services for different applications in a network having a core network and a radio access network through radio access bearers between the networks are presented. One or more session traffic flows being sent by an application are identified, the identified session is characterized in the form of parameters needed for the determination of the one or more radio access bearers. The characterized parameters are converted into radio access bearer attributes. One or more radio access bearers defined by the attributes are requested and established. Each session is mapped onto a correct radio access bearer established upon receiving the request. The one or more radio access bearers are released when no longer needed.
Abstract:
In packet communications that utilize header compression/decompression, relatively fast and reliable header compression context updates can be accomplished with relatively low overhead by: sending anticipatory context update requests before decompressor context invalidation is detected; sending redundant context update requests; and sending redundant context updates. Transmission parameters associated with both context update requests and context updates can be controlled appropriately to improve their chances for delivery, and needless context update requests can be identified and ignored at the header compression side.
Abstract:
The invention is concerned with a method and an apparatus for providing radio access bearer services of different applications in a network comprising a core network and a radio access network through radio access bearers between said networks. One or more session traffic flows being sent by an application are identified, the identified session is characterized in form of parameters needed for the determination of one or more radio access bearers. The characterized parameters are converted into radio access bearer attributes. One or more radio access bearers defined by means of said attributes are requested and established. Each session is mapped on the correct radio access bearer established upon said request. The radio access bearer(s) is released when not needed anymore. The apparatus of the invention comprises a radio access bearer management node consisting of three entities.
