摘要:
Methods in a network node, such as a radio base station (RBS) node or a radio network control (RNC) node, for adapting network characteristics in a telecommunications system are provided. A plurality of entities indicative of the performance of the network are measured simultaneously, by means of a single table, and one entity is selected as main entity. The measurements are stored within main entity ranges and a correlation of the measurements is performed to determine a relationship among the entities with main entity range(s). The result(s) of the correlation is used to adapt network characteristics for optimizing the network. Related network nodes are also discussed.

A technique for operating an RNC of a communication network during a soft handover process of a mobile terminal between a first BS and at least one second BS that are connected to the RNC is provided. A method implementation of the technique comprises receiving, at a MAC protocol layer of the RNC, a first data frame stream from the first BS via a first data path and a second data frame stream from the second BS via a second data path. A relative delay between the data frames of the first and the second data frame stream regarding their arrival at the RNC is determined. The relative delay takes into account different systematic propagation durations from the first BS and the second BS to the RNC. At then the MAC protocol layer, data frames of the first and the second data frame stream are then merged into a third data frame stream which is transmitted to a protocol layer above the MAC protocol layer. The merging of the data frames is carried out in dependence on the relative delay.

A method and apparatus for enabling service aware congestion control of PS (Packet Switched) data to be performed in a communication network. In the communication network PS data is communicated between a core network of the communication network and one or more User Equipments, UE, via the communication network node. Each UE is associated to the core network by one or more PS connections, and each of the PS connections is applied by the UE for a respective PS data service. When performing the service aware congestion control, information related to a respective PS data service is obtained, and priority information is provided to a resource manager arranged in the communication network. The priority information is based on the information related to the respective PS data service for a plurality of the PS connections. The resource manager is then enabled to perform congestion control of the PS connections based on the priority information. By determining for which PS data services the PS connections are currently applied, and prioritise the PS connections accordingly, the communication network node may reallocate RAN communication resources to higher prioritised PS data services from less prioritised PS data services. Thereby, a more flexible and effective use of available RAN communication resources may be achieved.

This disclosure relates to a Radio Network Controller, RNC, a base station, and to methods therein. By extracting information from one or more flows of Protocol Data Units, PDUs, which information is accessible on a certain protocol layer only, congestion control is enabled and performed on another protocol layer based on said information.The present disclosure avoids that inappropriate PDUs are discarded, which else would inappropriately affect the user performance.

The invention deals with the adjustment of the nominal target error rate for transmission of data from a priority queue to a new predetermined target error rate depending on the state of the priority queue. Usually, the adjustment to the new predetermined target error rate will be to a predefined lower target error rate based on states of the priority queue, such as amount of data in the priority queue, time passed since the latest transmission of data from the priority queue, whether the amount of data in the priority queue will fit into one transport block, whether the data unit to be transmitted for the priority queue is the first or last data unit in the priority queue and may also be based on the type of data stored in the priority queue. There may be more than one such priority queue.

A technique for operating an RNC of a communication network during a soft handover process of a mobile terminal between a first BS and at least one second BS that are connected to the RNC is provided. A method implementation of the technique comprises receiving, at a MAC protocol layer of the RNC, a first data frame stream from the first BS via a first data path and a second data frame stream from the second BS via a second data path. A relative delay between the data frames of the first and the second data frame stream regarding their arrival at the RNC is determined. At then the MAC protocol layer, data frames of the first and the second data frame stream are then merged into a third data frame stream which is transmitted to a protocol layer above the MAC protocol layer. The merging of the data frames comprises a reordering process of the data frames and wherein, if the relative delay for a data frame exceeds a delay difference reference value, the data frame is transmitted from MAC protocol layer to the protocol layer above the MAC protocol layer without subjecting data frame to the reordering process.

It is presented a queue manager arranged to manage a queue associated with a single radio access bearer of a mobile communication system. The queue manager comprises: a queue detector arranged to provide a change rate parameter indicating a rate of change of a size of the queue; a discard determiner arranged to determine a first discard condition based on the change rate parameter; and a packet discarder arranged to discard a packet in the queue when the first discard condition is satisfied. Corresponding method, radio base station, radio network controller and user equipment are also presented.
摘要:
The technology in this application determines the throughput over a data communication substantially as experienced by a user receiving the data. The determined throughput is substantially independent of the total amount of data transferred over the connection. This “active” throughput measure is divided into two parts to provide two performance measures: transfer throughput and latency. Latency corresponds to a time period needed to accomplish one or more functions associated with the data connection, like setting up and taking down the connection, during which payload type data to be transferred to an end user is not transferred. By identifying and removing the initial latency from the throughput determination for the data connection, the determined transfer throughput provides a more accurate measure of the throughput actually experienced by the end user.
