Abstract
A communications system comprising at least one user equipment at least one resource node arranged to manage resource for communication with said at least one user equipment at least one managing node for managing traffic flow, wherein said at least one resource node and said at least one managing node are arranged so that information is passed between at least one resource node and at least one managing node, said at least one managing node selecting at least one parameter for a new traffic flow based on said information.
Claims10
A method, comprising:
- determining, at a resource node, information for a local access at a radio access network;
- passing, from the resource node and to a managing node, the information to trigger the managing node to select at least one parameter for a new traffic flow for a user equipment, the selection based at least in part on the information, the at least one parameter including a charging parameter;
- and
- enforcing, by the resource node, quality of service control for the new traffic flow, the enforcing based on the at least one parameter for the new traffic flow.
An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one processor, the at least one memory, and the computer program code configured to cause the apparatus to at least:
- manage a traffic flow;
- receive, from a resource node, information for a local access at a radio access network;
- select at least one parameter for a new traffic flow for a user equipment, the selection based at least in part on the information, the at least one parameter including a charging parameter;
- and
- send the selected parameter to the resource node to trigger the resource node to enforce quality of service control for the new traffic flow based on the at least one parameter for the new traffic flow.
An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one processor, the at least one memory, and the computer program code configured to cause the apparatus to at least:
- determine information for a local access at a radio access network;
- and
- pass the information to a managing node to trigger the managing node to select at least one parameter for a new traffic flow for a user equipment, the selection based at least in part on the information, the at least one parameter including a charging parameter,
- wherein the apparatus is further configured to enforce quality of service control for the new traffic flow based on the at least one parameter for the new traffic flow.
A method comprising:
- managing, at a node, a traffic flow;
- receiving, at the node and from a resource node, information for a local access at a radio access network;
- selecting at least a quality of service parameter and a charging parameter for a new traffic flow for a user equipment, the selection based at least in part on the information;
- and
- sending the selected parameters to the resource node to trigger the resource node to enforce quality of service control for the new traffic flow based on the quality of service parameter and the charging parameter for the new traffic flow.
A non-transitory computer readable medium that, when executed by at least one processor, performs instructions comprising:
- determining, at a resource node, information for a local access at a radio access network;
- passing, from the resource node and to a managing node, the information to trigger the managing node to select at least one parameter for a new traffic flow for a user equipment, the selection based at least in part on the information, the at least one parameter including a charging parameter;
- and
- enforcing, by the resource node, quality of service control for the new traffic flow the enforcing based on the at least one parameter for the new traffic flow.
A non-transitory computer readable medium that, when executed by at least one processor, performs instructions comprising:
- managing, at a node, a traffic flow;
- receiving, from a resource node, information for a local access at a radio access network;
- selecting at least one parameter for a new traffic flow for the user equipment, the selection based at least in part on the information, the at least one parameter including a charging parameter;
- and
- sending the selected parameter to the resource node to trigger the resource node to enforce quality of service control for the new traffic flow, based on the at least one parameter for the new traffic flow.
