摘要:
The invention relates to method and device for improving the link configuration speed of high-latency links, such as circuit switched links or satellite links, that use chatty protocols, which require sequential configuration phases, such as standard PPP in accordance with RfC 1661. In the initial link configuration phase, a standard LCP packet is sent out, followed by at least one masked packet that will be discarded silently by a peer operating in accordance with the standard protocol, but whose contents will be processed by a peer operating in accordance with the invention. The initial standard LCP packet produces compatibility with the standard protocol, whereas the sending of masked packets containing configuration information (PAP, CHAP, ICPC, etc.) allows two peers operating in accordance with the invention to accomplish the configuration phases in parallel, such that a link can be configured and ready to transmit network level packets, such as IP packets, much more quickly than with the standard protocol, such as PPP.

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).

There is provided a serving node S) comprising processing means (CTRL_U1; MEM—1) and an interface unit (INT_U1) and a method for such a serving node, the serving node being adapted for participating in a network requested secondary PDP context activation procedure, the processing means being adapted for: —receiving (91) an initiate PDP context activation request signal from a gateway node (G). The serving node is also adapted for—determining (92A) whether the user entity supports network requested dedicated bearers; and if not the case; —without engaging in signalling with the user entity, transmitting (93) an initiate PDP context activation response signal indicating the network requested secondary PDP context activation has been accepted; and—transmitting (95) a create PDP context request signal to the gateway node. The Serving node may be adapted to further: if interacting with a GERAN radio node; —receiving (96) a create PDP context response signal from the gateway node (G), with a negotiated quality of service; —transmitting (97) a create BSS packet flow context request signal to the user entity, optionally comprising an indication, that the user entity supports no network requested dedicated bearer. Moreover, there is provided a radio node and a method for a radio node.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a partitioning entity and a method for partitioning capacity in a communication network to avoid starvation of certain data traffic and to support services with different characteristics. The method of partitioning capacity comprises assigning communication links to a group associated with a time-varying group capacity to form a group of communication links. The group comprises a first sub-group and at least a second sub-group of communication links. Further, the method comprises allocating a non-zero fraction of the time-varying group capacity to the first sub-group of communication links of the group.

An access node, resource database, network gateway node, methods, and computer program product for use in a broadband access network is described. According to an embodiment of the invention, an access node is configured to determine at least one characteristic in the access node pertaining to the uplink capacity of a logical link between the access node and an aggregation network node in the broadband access network, determine the uplink capacity of the logical link based on the at least one determined characteristic in the access node, and provide a network gateway node in the broadband access network with access to the determined uplink capacity of the logical link.
摘要:
For allowing differentiated handling of network traffic, a message is received by a traffic type detector. The traffic type detector extracts a network label, e.g. a domain name, a hostname, or a network address, from the message and compares this extracted network label to one or more stored network labels. On the basis of the comparison, adaptation of a quality of service level for a forwarding treatment of data packets associated with the message is initiated, e.g. by controlling a bearer used for communicating the data packets.
摘要:
Data packets of a flow associated with a first bearer and data packets of a flow associated with a second bearer are received in an intermediate node (140). The data packets are then transmitted from the intermediate node (140). in response to a congestion being detected on the first bearer, one of the first bearer and the second bearer is selected for notification of the congestion in the associated flow. The selection may be based on a type of the congestion, e.g. the detected congestion being in a transport network (160) or the congestion being on a radio link (250).
