摘要:
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.

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.

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.

User identity token for identifying a user of a communication network A first node (13), e.g., a policy controller of a communication network, receives a request (101) from a second node (15), e.g., an application server for providing a service in the communication network. The request (101) includes a transport address assigned to a user of the communication network. Further, the first node (13) accesses mapping data (31) relating the transport address to a subscription identity of the user and determines a user identity token which is mapped to the subscription identity of the user and masks the subscription identity. The first node (13) then sends a response to the second node (15). The response (102) includes the user identity token.

Differentiated Handling of Data Traffic with Adaptation of Network Address Lookup In a method of differentiated handling of data traffic, the data traffic is related to a network resource and is preceded by a lookup procedure for obtaining a network address of the network resource. A message of the lookup procedure is processed for adapting the lookup procedure. Due to the adaptation, the lookup procedure returns a network address of a replacement network resource. The replacement network resource is capable of replacing the network resource in communication of data packets of the data traffic. On the basis of the network address of the replacement network resource, differentiated handling of the data packets in said communication with the replacement network resource is accomplished.

A network entity comprising a processing unit that is configured: to receive a policy token from user equipment (S10) to determine network equipment handling a packet flow to the equipment (S30); to generate an instruction to apply a specific policy for the packet flow to the user equipment based on received policy token (S40); and to send the instruction to the network equipment (S50).

A communication system includes a user equipment (UE) 10 and a gateway 26. The UE (10) sends data packets on one or more bearers (52, 54) to the gateway 26. One or more packet filters (62, 64) are installed in the UE (10) for associating the data packets with the bearers (52, 54). A decision is performed if installation of a new packet filter (62, 64) in the UE (10) is required to map the data packets of indicated data traffic to a particular bearer (52, 54). The result of the decision may then be indicated from a policy controller (30) to a gateway (26) and/or from the gateway (26) to the UE (10). Depending on the result of the decision, the gateway may initiate signaling of the new packet filter (62, 64) to the UE (10) and/or the UE (10) may install the new packet filter (62, 64).
