Abstract:
The invention aims to reduce the delay associated with setting up a session for a user terminal in a mobile communication network. A control unit for use in a wireless communication network for controlling a user terminal's ability to communicate with the network, comprising—at least one input for receiving event information about at least one trigger event indicating that the user terminal is likely to wish to communicate with the network within a predetermined period of time—decision logic for deciding whether the state of the terminal should be changed to enable it to communicate and—output means for triggering the a state change for the terminal to a state in which the terminal is able to communicate with the network, if the decision logic decides that this should be done.
Abstract:
Communication method and system for transmitting data partitioned into a plurality of data packets between at least two communication units (CU1, CU2, CU4) using a communication network (N). During temporary interruptions of transmission of data packets via the communication network some of the transmitted data packets are lost. The invention allows to avoid the loss of data packets due to temporary interruptions of the communication network by determining at the sending data processing device, based on information received from the communication network, which data packets are lost or will be lost during transmission due to a temporary interruption of the communication network. The method can be used for data transmission via mobile communication networks and an "Internet". To allow a retrieval of lost data packets, data packets scheduled for transmission can be temporarily stored in a temporary storage means. Transmission of packets, retransmission and other services needed for data communication can be performed by an appropriately modified TCP/IP protocol set.
Abstract:
A method of processing a data unit of a first protocol layer (L3) for transmission in a data unit based communication system is described, comprising the steps of passing to a second protocol layer (L2) a given data unit of said first protocol layer (L3) that is to be transmitted, said second protocol layer (L2) lying below said first protocol layer (L3), determining a numeric value of a numerically quantifiable parameter associated with said given data unit of said first protocol layer (L3), embedding said given data unit of said first protocol layer (L3) into one or more data units of said second protocol layer (L2), performing transmission control for said one or more data units of said second protocol layer (L2) that embed said given data unit of said first protocol layer (L3), where said embedding and/or said transmission control is performed in accordance with said numeric value of said numerically quantifiable parameter.
Abstract:
Different types of traffic requiring different inactivity timer settings are assigned to different bearers or to different QoS classes. Different inactivity timer settings are established for different traffic types. Individual bearers or individual QoS classes are linked to a corresponding inactivity timer profile. The link may be accomplished in a number of ways. For example, an additional QoS parameter may be employed in a 3GPP QoS profile, or a new QoS class identifier may be mapped to an inactivity timer setting. Different inactivity timer settings allows both UE battery power conservation to be prioritized for some traffic and end-user experience (quick subsequent response times) to be prioritized for other traffic.
Abstract:
A method and device for determining a parameter (RTO) associated with a retransmission time-out feature in a data unit transmitter implementing a protocol (TCP) that provides an acknowledgment feature and a retransmission time-out feature, where according to one aspect decreasing values of the round trip time (RTT) are treated differently with respect to their influence on a mean deviation parameter (RTTVAR) than increasing values of the round trip time, where according to another aspect weight values (g, h, w) used in the determination of the parameter (RTO) are chosen such that at least one of them is time variable, and where according to a further aspect the parameter (RTO) is also calculated on the basis of a value (SR) indicative of the number of spurious time-outs in the communication.

Abstract:
A system and method for configuring a Traffic Flow Template, TFT, in real time. The present invention dynamically adapts the TFT to control the routing of downlink data packets from a GGSN to an MS. When the MS sends an uplink data packet on a premium bearer channel, a TFT controller extracts from the uplink data packet, parameters which include at least the destination address of the uplink data packet. A downlink packet filter subset for filtering downlink data packets is then defined as a function of the extracted parameters. For example, the downlink packet filter subset may identify downlink data packets having a source address that matches the destination address of the uplink data packet. The TFT is then modified as a function of the downlink packet filter subset to route the identified downlink packets through the premium bearer channel to the MS, and to route differently, downlink data packets having source addresses that do not match the destination address of the uplink data packet.
