摘要:
A technique for providing VPN-based quality enhancement to applications running on a user terminal is presented. An exemplary user terminal comprises at least one interface configured to connect the user terminal to a network, at least one processor and at least one memory coupled to the processor. The memory stores a quality enhancement application and at least one further application for execution by the processor. The quality enhancement application, in one variant, is configured to cause the processor to trigger a VPN service to establish a VPN tunnel between a first VPN tunnel endpoint and a second VPN tunnel endpoint, wherein the first VPN tunnel endpoints resides on the user terminal. The quality enhancement application is further configured to cause the processor to determine a quality enhancement requirement of the further application and to signal the quality enhancement requirement via the VPN tunnel to the network.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method, by a Policy and Charging Rules Function, PCRF (100), of a mobile communications network, to control a signalling of congestion information of mobile entities at a plurality of Radio Access Network Congestion Awareness Functions, RCAFs (200), which monitor which mobile entities are affected by congestion in a radio access network (10) of the mobile communications network, the method comprising the steps of receiving, from one of the RCAFs, an indication that one of the mobile entities is affected by congestion, storing said one RCAF from which the indication is received as the current RCAF for said one mobile entity, receiving, from another RCAF, an indication that said one mobile entity is affected by congestion, and indicating, in response to the indication received from said another RCAF, to the current RCAF to release a context for said one mobile entity.
摘要:
In a mobile network comprising a plurality of base stations and a gateway, a user equipment may perform a handover from a source base station to a target base station. By control signalling, the handover may be notified from the target base station to a control node of the mobile network and then to the gateway so that the gateway may switch to a data path which connects the target base station and the gateway. The notification of the handover may be delayed at the target base station or at the control node, by starting a timer and sending the control signalling for initiating the path switching after expiry of the timer.
