Abstract:
A communication system comprises user end points, a network, and an intermediate end point, the user end points being connected to the network via different link-layers. A session is invitated by a first user with a second user by means of an invitation signal from the first user over the network. The invitation is received by an intermediate point in the network, which allocates an invitation identity to the invitation. The intermediate point then forwards the invitation together with the invitation identity to the second user over the network. The second user receives the information about the invitation together with the invitation identity, and selects end point and/or access configuration for responding to the session invitation. The second user then responds to the request with the selected end point and/or access configuration by appending the invitation identity. The intermediate point associates the response with said invitation signal and establishes the session.
Abstract:
The present invention deals with the problem with packet based services consuming considerable bandwidth over links with shortage of bandwidth. The object of the present invention is to reduce the amount of information when transferring a signalling message and thus save bandwidth.After receiving a signalling message in a first node the signalling message is identified. The signalling message is replaced by an indicator, under usage of information from the identification, which indicator is transferred to a second node. The second node restores the signalling message using the indicator.
Abstract:
Un sistema de comunicaciones comprende puntos extremos de usuarios, una red, y un punto extremo intermedio, los puntos extremos de usuarios están conectados a la red vía diferentes niveles de enlace. Se invita a una sesión por un primer usuario con un segundo usuario por medio de una señal de invitación procedente del primer usuario por la red. La invitación es recibida por un punto intermedio en la red, que asigna a la invitación una identidad de invitación. El punto intermedio entonces envía la invitación juntamente con la identidad de invitación al segundo usuario por la red. El segundo usuario recibe la información sobre la invitación juntamente con la identidad de invitación, y selecciona los accesos al punto extremo y/o la configuración del acceso para responder a la invitación a la sesión. El segundo usuario entonces responde a la petición con el punto extremo y/o la configuración del acceso añadiendo la identidad de invitación. El punto intermedio asocia la respuesta con dicha señalde invitación y establece la sesión.

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.
