Abstract:
A method of operating a User Equipment, UE, in a wireless communication network. The UE is configured for Discontinuous Reception, DRX, operation with a DRX cycle having a DRX ON period in which the UE is in a DRX awake state and ready for reception and a DRX OFF period in which the UE is in a DRX sleep state. The UE determines whether an uplink packet to be transmitted is delay tolerant. The UE delays, when the uplink packet is regarded as delay tolerant, a request for an uplink transmission grant for the uplink packet until a DRX ON period of the UE. By delaying the request for an uplink transmission grant for a delay tolerant uplink packet until a DRX ON period of the UE, the UE does not have to wake up to listen to the response from the network during the DRX OFF period.
Abstract:
Un procedimiento de establecimiento de una sesión multimedia de conmutación de paquetes para un terminalmóvil en comunicación con otra parte, en el que un contexto PDP, Packet Data Protocol, primario ha sido activado enuna red móvil para el terminal móvil, comprendiendo el procedimiento las etapas siguientes, tal como se ejecutan enla red móvil: - recibir información acerca de la próxima sesión, que ha sido negociada y acordada entre las partescomunicantes, - determinar si se necesita o no algún recurso de red que proporcione una QoS requerida para la sesión en lared móvil, - determinar si debe activarse o no un contexto PDP secundario para el terminal móvil y la próxima sesión,y si se necesitan recursos de red y si debe activarse un contexto PDP secundario, - desencadenar la activación de dicho contexto PDP secundario. en el que dichas etapas de determinación y etapa de desencadenamiento son ejecutadas por una unidad de normas,responsable básicamente de autorizar las sesiones de comunicación en la red móvil.
Abstract:
A method and arrangment for enrolling a joining peer (202) to a P2P (peer-to-peer) to the P2P network receives (2:2) a connect request sent from the joining peer, and obtains (2:4-2:7) an enrollment recommendation for the joining peer at least based on a stored current topology (208) of the P2P network. The enrollment a server then sends (2:9) attach information to the joining peer according to the enrollment recommendation. The attach information indicates where the joining peer shall connect to the P2P network. The enrollment server also updates (2:13) and stored toplogy of the P2P network when the joining peer has connected to the P2P network.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for requesting a transport policy for a bearer of a session in a communications system (100) A transport policy requesting node (500) according to the invention comprises an event handling mechanism (505) adapted to detect a triggering event triggering the selection of a transport policy for the bearer of a service; a transport policy selection mechanism (525) adapted to select a transport policy and transmit a policy request indicative of the transport policy to a policy decision function, and a context information handling mechanism (515, 520) adapted to receive information relating to a context relevant to the service. The context information can be used as a trigger for the selection of a transport policy, and/or as a basis for the selection of a transport policy.
Abstract:
According to a first aspect, it is presented a method, performed by a network device, for determining a set of power state parameters at least partly defining when a wireless terminal is to be in an active state or a power saving state. The method comprises the steps of: obtaining at least one traffic characterization parameter; for each traffic flow, simulating a plurality of sets of power state parameters; obtaining at least one operational traffic characterization parameter; associating the operational traffic with a selected traffic flow; finding an applicable set of power state parameters by finding a set of power state parameters with a low cost, wherein the set of power state parameters are associated with the selected traffic flow; and sending the applicable set of power state parameters to the wireless terminal in operation. A corresponding network node, computer program and computer program product are also presented.
Abstract:
The present invention provides methods, an application node (104, 26, 300), a policy node (108, 24, 400), a system for service delivery control related to access technology types and in particular for service delivery control based on allowed access technology types. Based on radio access technology types as defined by an application node related to a service provider as communicated to the policy node over the inter node interface Rx (106), and an radio access technology type with which a mobile phone (102, 22) communicates on at the moment, a determination is made as to whether the radio access technology type with which the mobile phone communicate son is among the allowed radio access technology types or not. If it is not, the current access technology type may be updated such that there is a match between the allowed radio access technology type and the current radio access rate.
Abstract:
The invention comprises methods and arrangements for Policy Decision Point discovery in a roaming or handover scenario in an IP network (IN) comprising a plurality of network elements. The authentication function, e.g. an AAA-server, receives the address (ASPDP1) of the serving Policy Decision Point (SPDP1) associated to the user equipment, and stores the address of the serving policy decision point together with the local address of the user equipment. The authentication function sends the address of the serving policy Decision Point to the Home Agent so that the Home Agent can forward the address of the serving policy decision point to the anchor Policy Decision Point and so that the anchor Policy Decision Point can contact the serving policy decision point by using said address of the serving Policy Decision Point.

Abstract:
A method in a network node downloads an upcoming web page to a user equipment. The network node obtains a first value, relating to the upcoming web page, of a set of features. The features represent any one out of: the upcoming web page, the user equipment, and a web browser in the user equipment. The network node predicts whether it is beneficial regarding download time to activate an uplink grant pre-allocation for the user equipment for downloading the upcoming web page. The prediction is based on a relationship between the first value and of a second value of the set of features, which second value is related to a previously downloaded web page, and an evaluation whether it is beneficial regarding download time to activate the uplink grant pre-allocation for the previously downloaded web page. The network node provides the prediction to a base station.
