摘要:
In one aspect, a mechanism is provided to resolve the Iub transport network congestion in the uplink direction by using the transmission window of the RLC to control the transfer rate of the flow. The RNC (110) detects the Iub TN congestion for the flow in the uplink. The EUL flow control running in the RNC (110) calculates the RLC transmission window size for the UE for the flow and the calculated RLC transmission window size is signaled to the peer RLC entity in the UE (130) through an RLC STATUS PDU.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method and an arrangement in a communication network node (15) of achieving an optimal initial shaping rate for a new packet flow on a transport network between said communication network node (15) and a second communication network node (10) in a communication network system. The shaping rates of ongoing packet flows on said transport network are determined. And, based on said determined shaping rates of ongoing packet flows, an initial shaping rate for said new packet flow is selected so as to obtain a maximized fairness among all shaping rates.

A mechanism is provided to resolve the Iub transport network congestion efficiently for HSDPA by dynamic adjustment of the transmit window of the RLC. The RLC protocol is extended with congestion control functionality. The Iub TN and Uu congestion detection method in the Node-B (120) signals the congestion to the RNC (110), and this congestion indication is used by RLC to react on the congestion situation. In the RNC (110), the transmission window of the RLC is adjusted to control the flow rate. When congestion is detected, the RLC transmission window size is decreased. When there is no congestion, then the RLC transmission window size is increased automatically. Different types of congestion are distinguished and are handled in different ways. Alternatively, congestion control is achieved without any modification in the RLC layer from the existing standard. Here, RLC STATUS PDUs are used to change the RLC transmission window size.

In one aspect, a method and apparatus are disclosed that can provide an efficient and robust HSDPA flow control solution. The RNC (110) can receive information regarding allowed data rate from the Node-B (120) for a data flow in a downlink direction. Based on the received data rate information and optionally based on other predetermined considerations, the RNC (110) adjusts the RLC PDU transmission window size for the data flow. When the RLC PDU transmission window is properly sized, reaction to congestion can be performed quicker relative to the existing Iub flow control.
