An auto-configuration arrangement enables a general-purpose mobile terminal or user equipment (UE) and an access network having specific native or standardized codecs and media formats to conform to one another and to thus optimize resource utilization in the access network. When the UE is attached to the access network, UE and user identifier information is signaled by the UE to a configuration node implemented in the access network. The configuration node acquires information details regarding the UE, and also relevant user subscription information, by retrieval from one or more access network registers. The configuration node then uses the detailed information together with access network specific information to decide what QoS definition and type of codec to select for use, and assembles the selected definitions and codecs, such as by retrieval from a repository. The configuration node sends the selected QoS definitions and codecs to the UE, and the UE configures itself in accordance therewith by means of a configuration layer residing in the UE.
A method for enhancing data transfer between a user equipment (LE) and an access network having specific access network parameters, said access network parameters comprising at least a set of specific codecs and a set of specific service definitions for said access network, said method comprising the steps of:
A method for enhancing data transfer between a general purpose user equipment and a wireless access network having specific access network parameters, said access network parameters comprising at least a set of specific codecs and a set of specific QoS definitions for said access network, said method comprising the step of:
In a system including an access network having specific network parameters, said network parameters comprising at least a set of specific codecs and a set of specific QoS definitions for said access network, apparatus for enhancing data transfer between a general purpose UE and said access network comprising:
