20080311927 | System, An Arrangement And A Method For Providing Core Network Nodes With Mobile Station Related Information - The present invention relates to a system for providing a core network node with location related information about one or more mobile user stations accessing the core network over an access network. It comprises a number of radio access network nodes (RNC; BSC) a number of first network nodes or core network nodes serving communication of data (SGSN | 12-18-2008 |
20090291666 | Charging Of GPRS Traffic For Roaming Mobiles By Performing Traffic Counting At The User Terminal - The application relates to charging of traffic from terminals and in particular of charging of traffic from GPRS mobile terminals which are roaming in a visited PLMN (not claimed). According to the applicant's acknowledged prior art, either the traffic passes the home PLMN or the Home Operator relies on the Visited Operator to generate the CDRs to be used by the Home Operator for billing. Whereas the first solution leads to tromboning and inefficient traffic routing, the second solution calls for a strong trust relationship between the Home and the Visited Operators. The present invention circumvents both problems in that the terminal generates a traffic counting information and sends it to the Visited Network. The Visited Network generates a traffic counting record comprising the traffic counting information from the terminal and traffic counting information from the Visited Network. The traffic counting record is subsequently sent to the Home Network. | 11-26-2009 |

20110106933 | POLICY CONTROL WITH PREDEFINED RULES - The present invention relates to a method for policy control in an infrastructure network. The network comprises a Policy Enforcement Function, PEF, an Access Function, AF, and a Policy Control Function, PCF, wherein the PEF comprises at least one pre-defined Policy and Charge Control, PCC, rule. The method comprises the steps of: —the PCF determines | 05-05-2011 |
20120182868 | Multiple Bearer Support Upon Congestion Situations - The embodiments herein relates to a method for enabling multiple bearer support upon congestion situations in a communication network. The PCC architecture is enabled to determine whether separate bearers need to be established for service(s) that demand MBR>GBR when no ECN support is provided. This is provided in nodes and methods receiving, using a receiving unit ( | 07-19-2012 |
20130016658 | Reactivation of Dedicated BearersAANM Lovsen; LarsAACI GoteborgAACO SEAAGP Lovsen; Lars Goteborg SEAANM Hedman; PeterAACI HelsingborgAACO SEAAGP Hedman; Peter Helsingborg SEAANM Pancorbo Marcos; Maria BelenAACI MadridAACO ESAAGP Pancorbo Marcos; Maria Belen Madrid ES - The present invention relates to re-establishment of dedicated bearers and more particularly, the invention relates to the re-establishment of dedicated bearers when connection is lost temporarily. This is provided in a device, method and system, in a packet based telecommunications network, for receiving on the communication interface an indication that a dedicated bearer for a user equipment, UE, has been deactivated, starting at least one timer, checking if uplink traffic is present for a communication bearer and if uplink traffic is detected on the communication bearer for a deactivated dedicated bearer re-establishing the dedicated bearer and stopping the timer. | 01-17-2013 |
20130194910 | FAILURE RECOVERY IN AN IP MULTIMEDIA SUBSYSTEM NETWORK - A method is provided for facilitating recovery from the failure of a P-CSCF within an IP multimedia Subsystem network. A gateway, such as a GGSN, monitors signals arriving at the gateway from the P-CSCF and provides an indication if the monitored signals become unacceptable, for example because of an interruption in the signals. The gateway responds by signalling the unavailability of the P-CSCF to user equipment, which was associated with the P-CSCF during a previous registration with the IMS network. In response, for example, the user equipment affected by the failure may request re-registration with the IMS network using a different available P-CSCF. | 08-01-2013 |
20130336330 | Controlling Packet Filter Installation in a User Equipment - A communication system includes a user equipment (UE) and a gateway. The UE sends data packets on one or more bearers to the gateway. One or more packet filters are installed in the UE for associating the data packets with the bearers. A decision is performed if installation of a new packet filter in the UE is required to map the data packets of indicated data traffic to a particular bearer. The result of the decision may then be indicated from a policy controller to a gateway and/or from the gateway to the UE. Depending on the result of the decision, the gateway may initiate signaling of the new packet filter to the UE and/or the UE may install the new packet filter. | 12-19-2013 |
20140344472 | SHARING RESOURCE RESERVATION - A method in a first network node handles data sessions in a communications network. The method includes receiving information indicating a second data session entering the communications network. The method further includes creating a second rule associated with the second data session. The second rule causes the first data session to be associated with the second data session. The method further includes determining that the second rule share a guaranteed bit rate (GBR) with a first rule associated with the first data session based on the second data session entering the communications network. The method further includes transmitting first information that the second rule and an indicator indicating the first rule and the second rule should share the GBR. | 11-20-2014 |
