20090041043 | Communication system, switching node computer and method for determining a control node - A first communications network and a second communications network are part of a communications system that includes at least one communications terminal and an interface computer, coupled to the first communications network, for mapping a data stream between the at least one communications terminal and the first communications network. The first communications network includes at least one control node for controlling the data stream between the interface computer and the at least one communications terminal. The communications system also includes at least one network node, which provides the control node with information relating to the communications terminal that allows the control node to exercise its control function, and at least one switching node which determines the control node associated with the communications terminal concerned so that the information prepared by the at least one network node can be transmitted to the control node. | 02-12-2009 |
20090190506 | Method for Allowing Control of the Quality of Service and/or of the Service Fees for Telecommunication Services - A method permitting the control of the service quality and/or service fees of telecommunication services in which several service nodes are involved. During the initiation and/or implementation of a communication service, an exchange of signaling data occurs between a communications terminal and at least two service nodes which are involved in the communication service. The control node detects whether the service data transmitted by the at least two service nodes relate to the very same communication service. Then the control node selects service data from the transmitted service data and uses these service data for controlling the service quality and/or service fees. | 07-30-2009 |
20110053590 | DEFINING THE INITIATOR FOR A CONFIGURATION OR A SET OF OF AN ACCESS NETWORK CONNECTION - Devices and methods initiate the structuring or the configuration of an access network connection for an access of a terminal to a telecommunications network, such as a cellular mobile radio network. Before the structuring or configuration of the telecommunications network, it is decided whether this structuring or this configuration of the access network connection should be initiated through the telecommunications network or through the terminal, and that the terminal is notified of this decision by the telecommunications network in one or more messages. | 03-03-2011 |
20110238547 | Charging Control Providing Correction of Charging Control Information - There is proposed a charging control in which a policy and charging control function provides first (preliminary) charging control information, such as PCC rules, when the communication connection is set up or modified. Then, service information can be retrieved leading to an updated set of charging control information. The policy and charging control function provides then the updated charging control information for enforcement, wherein the charging system is informed about both the preliminary nature of the first charging control information and the validity of the second charging control information for a time before the update, i.e. before the transmission of the second charging control information. The charging system can use this updated charging control information and knows that it has to replace the former charging control information, so that the charging procedure can be corrected accordingly. Thus, charging of a service miming on the communication connection on the basis of correct charging control information is possible over the complete time the service is running. | 09-29-2011 |
20120057463 | METHOD AND APPARATUS CONFIGURED TO PROVIDE LOCAL BREAKOUT SERVICES WITH A SINGLE APN - A method, apparatus, computer program, and system is provided that includes handling traffic management in a communication network system. One example may include activating a communication link, obtaining traffic management rules to handle the traffic flow on the communication link, and transferring the traffic management rules to at least one network element configured to implement the traffic management rules. The traffic management rules are configured to perform traffic management by transferring at least a portion of the network traffic to a different communication network. | 03-08-2012 |
20120307800 | Enhanced Single Voice Radio Call Continuity Using Packet Data Network Bi-Casting - A method can comprise providing single voice radio call continuity using packet data network bi-casting, wherein the call continuity is provided during a handover of a user equipment from a real-time transport protocol voice to a circuit switched voice call In such a method, the real-time transport protocol voice can be carried m a long term evolution system and the circuit switched voice call can be carried in a second or third generation system The method can be performed by a serving network of the user equipment. | 12-06-2012 |
20130021905 | CONTROLLING TRAFFIC FLOW TEMPLATE GENERATION - It is indicated which filters are to be used for a traffic flow template generation, in rules informing a communications network about resources authorized for a user of the communications network. A gateway combines the rules to a bearer providing access to the communications network, and generates a traffic flow template for the bearer out of filters which are indicated to be used for traffic flow template generation for the bearer in the rules. | 01-24-2013 |
20130242918 | METHOD FOR PROVIDING A LOCAL TRAFFIC SHORTCUT IN A PACKET-ORIENTED MOBILE COMMUNICATION NETWORK - A method for providing a local traffic shortcut (LTS) in a packet-oriented mobile communication network comprising the steps of storing in a LTS-database the IP addresses of all devices served by at least one network node of said network along with a node-ID of the respective network node; receiving an IP data packet by a network node and extracting a destination IP-address from the received data packet; querying the LTS-database with the extracted destination IP-address of the received data packet to identify at least one network node for performing a local traffic shortcut (LTS); and establishing an LTS path with the identified network node. | 09-19-2013 |
20130308529 | METHOD FOR PROVIDING A LOCAL TRAFFIC SHORTCUT IN A PACKET-ORIENTED MOBILE COMMUNICATION NETWORK - A method for providing a local traffic shortcut (LTS) in a packet-oriented mobile communication network comprising the steps of: providing a network node with traffic instance identification data (TIID) wherein the network node stores the TIID with a node ID of the network node as an entry in an LTS-database; querying by the network node the LTS-database of the network for entries comprising the same TIID to identify at least one network node for performing a local traffic shortcut (LTS); and establishing an LTS-tunnel with the identified network node. | 11-21-2013 |
