In a telecommunications network, for establishing or modifying a radio connection a node (N1) prepares and sends an AAL2 signaling message (110) for use by a connection admission control function (106) of another node (N2) of the telecommunications network. In accordance with the present invention, the AAL2 signaling message includes a timescale value (112) which represents a timescale over which at least one bit rate value characterizing the radio connection is defined. Including the timescale value (112) in the AAL2 signaling message (110) facilitates more efficient connection admission control by enabling, e.g., bandwidth requirements of radio connections to take into consideration delay requirements. In an illustrated example embodiment, the timescale value (112) is a burst inter-arrival time (BIT) bit value which is a time which elapses between a beginning of two subsequent bursts of AAL2 CPS (Common Part Sublayer) packets.
A node of a telecommunications network which prepares an AAL2 signaling message for use by a connection admission control function of another node of the telecommunications network in conjunction with establishment or modification of a telecommunications connection, the connection being characterized by at least one bit rate value, and wherein the node includes in the AAL2 signaling message information regarding a timescale over which the bit rate value is defined.
A node of a telecommunications network which prepares an AAL2 signaling message for a connection, the AAL2 signaling message being one of an Establish Request Message and a Modify Request Message, the connection being characterized by at least one bit rate value, and wherein the node includes in the AAL2 signaling message information regarding a timescale over which the bit rate value is defined.
A telecommunications network comprising:
For use in a telecommunications network having at least a first node and a second node, a method of establishing a connection, the connection being characterized by at least one bit rate value, a method comprising:
