摘要:
In the present invention, the implementation of a protocol that embeds packets is made sensitive to the type of data being embedded, so that adjustable parameters can be set automatically at the layer providing the parameters being adjusted in accordance with the packets being embedded. Thus it is taken into account that the data in packets being received from a higher layer in order to be encapsulated or segmented and sent further (either directly into the link or on to lower layer), may be classified into different categories with respect to the adjustable parameters, where the parameters can automatically be adjusted for an individual packet in accordance with the category into which is classified.

A communication device and method is provided, for which, when having implementations of first protocol that specifies different reliability levels for sending PDUs of a second protocol, where the second protocol specifies segmentation of PDUs of a third, higher layer protocol, a capability is introduced for setting the reliability level of second protocol (L2_ARQ) PDUs differently for second protocol PDUs belonging to a defined data structure containing such second protocol (L2_ARQ) data units. The defined data structure can be a higher layer protocol data unit or the send window. Thereby the delay caused by retransmission of second protocol data units can be reduced significantly.

The invention relates to a method and a device for improving the processing time of received data in packet oriented applications during a transmission via communication networks, in particular via an IP network and a mobile communication network such as the Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM), Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) or General Packet Radio Service (GPRS). The received data packets of the second protocol layer, for instance, the RLP frames, are combined to form data packets of the first protocol layer, for instance to PPP frames, directly by the receiver in the second protocol layer. The completely and correctly combined data packets are then released to the first protocol layer. During the release of the data packets to the first protocol layer, a difference is made between two modes. The intra-flow mode is a mode, wherein all completely generated data packets are released, i.e. independent from whether the data packets belong to the same or to two different data flows. In contrast thereto, a difference is made in view of the inter-flow mode. In said mode only the completely generated data packets belonging to different data flows are released to the first protocol layer.

The present invention relates to a data unit sending means and a method for controlling a data unit sending means, where data units of a first protocol (L2_ARQ) embed data units of a second protocol (L3) belonging to a higher layer, and said data units of said first protocol (L2_ARQ) are held in a send buffer means. According to the invention, the data units of the second protocol (L3) are discriminated, and the data units of the first protocol (L2_ARQ) that embed a particular data unit of the second protocol (L3) are associated with said particular data unit of the second protocol (L3), and the contents of the send buffer means is managed in accordance with said association.

摘要:
In a method for improving the transmission efficiency in a communication system with a layered protocol stack, data packets are processed on an upper protocol layer. Data packets are forwarded to a lower protocol layer for transmission and the transmission is performed with variable channel access delays. The upper protocol layer is notified by the lower protocol layer when a transmission is started to allow a synchronization of timers in the upper protocol layer. If a layer performs a scheduling of data packets for the transmission, a rescheduling is performed alternatively or in addition during a channel access delay. Devices and software programs embodying the invention are also described.

The present invention relates to a method and an arrangement for obtaining efficient radio resource utilization over a radio interface in a communication network comprising a transmitting entity (18) transmitting data over said radio interface to a receiving entity (15), said transmitting entity (18) comprising at least an upper layer utilizing an automatic repeat request (ARQ) protocol on top of a lower layer utilizing a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) protocol, whereby a timer in said upper layer is arranged to supervise operation of said upper layer. Said timer is set based on an indication of receipt status of the transmitted data in said receiving entity (15) according to said lower layer hybrid automatic repeat request protocol.
