Abstract:
The technology pertains to wireless telecommunications systems in which a quality of service is handled for a service provided to a user equipment when the user equipment transitions from being served by a source network to being served by a target network. The quality of service is handled even if the source and the target networks implement proprietary QCIs. In general, a source QCI, which may be proprietary to the source network, is remapped to a predetermined QCI that identifies a set of predetermined QCI characteristics whose values are similar to the source QCI characteristics identified by the source QCI. The predetermined QCI and the set of predetermined QCI characteristics are used by the target network to provide the service to the user equipment after the transition.
Abstract:
A method of handling user plane data in a packet switched network. A packet inspection node determines a compression ratio and/or content information for the user plane data, and sends said compression ratio and/or content information towards a user plane data handling node. The user plane data handling node receives the compression ratio and/or content information, and handles the user plane data in dependence upon the compression ratio and/or content information.
Abstract:
According to embodiments herein a method in a transmitting radio node (12) for scheduling service data flows within a radio bearer towards a receiving radio node (10) in a radio communications network (1 ) is provided. The transmitting radio node (12) maps data packets of at least two service data flows within the radio bearer to a respective pre-scheduling queue at a PDCP layert wherein each pre- scheduling queue is associated with a service or a service quality requirement of the respective service data flow. The transmitting radio node (12) further pre- schedules the data packets of the respective pre-scheduling queue down to a scheduling queue at a RLC or a MAC layer. The transmitting radio node 12 further schedules the data packets in the scheduling queue towards the receiving radio node 10. The transmitting radio node (12) takes a prebuffer time of a data packet queued in the pre-scheduling queue into account when pre-scheduling and/or scheduling the data packets.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for handling data compression in a mobile communications network. As a result of mobility of a mobile endpoint such as a mobile terminal, a first network node receives compression information relating to a remote node. The compression information is selected from any of compression capabilities of the remote node, a type of compression available at the remote node and an identity of the remote node. The received compression information is used to perform a compression operation on first data to produce modified data. The modified data is then sent towards the remote node.
Abstract:
Un método para asignar señales de referencia con el objeto de determinar la calidad de enlace radioeléctrico de un nodo de red de origen, y el método dispara o comprende el paso de transmitir a un nodo candidato información sobre al menos una señal de referencia asignada para la transmisión en al menos un haz controlado por el nodo de red de origen y/o información sobre una o más señales de referencia elegibles para asignarlas a una transmisión en al menos un haz controlado por el nodo candidato.
Abstract:
Embodiments herein relate to a method in a transmitting radio node (12) for handling data packets within a radio bearer in a radio communications network (1). The transmitting radio node (12) sets up within a radio bearer a logical sub channel for each of at least two identified packet flows. The transmitting radio node (12) associates an identity to each data packet of respective identified packet flow where the identity is indicating the logical sub channel of the respective identified traffic flow. The transmitting radio node (12) transfers the data packets of respective identified packet flow in an order over a channel in the radio communications network (1) where the order of transferring is based on the identity of each data packet.
Abstract:
There is provided a method of determining latency in a remote network element of a telecommunications network. In one embodiment, the method comprises receiving a message at a network element, the message comprising a time stamp of the time at which it was sent from a source network element. On receiving the message, the network element obtains another time stamp, and so may determine the time for the message to be sent between the network elements. In further embodiments, a source network element may gain an implicit indication of the workload of the remote network element by sending a first message to the remote network element and determining a length of time before the remote network element sends a second message back to the source network element.
