Mobile terminal and method of providing cross layer interaction in a mobile terminal

A method of providing cross layer interaction in a mobile terminal, said method comprising the steps of:

• identifying a plurality of service performed in said mobile terminal;
• identifying a plurality of components providing predetermined service of said plurality of service;
• and
• providing a cross layer adaptation algorithm associated with predetermined components of said plurality of components.

A method of providing cross layer interaction in a mobile terminal, said method comprising the steps of:

• producing management policies in a system policy decision point of said mobile terminal;
• producting coordination policies to coordinate cross layer adaptation algorithms in the common policies repository based upon said management policies;
• and
• transferring said cross layer coordination policies to layer policy decision points.

A method of providing cross layer interaction in a mobile terminal, said method comprising the steps of:

• establishing a policy group ID for policies of each cross layer adaptation algorithm;
• producing a plurality of management policies in a system policy decision point of said mobile terminal;
• establishing a policy group ID for each said management policy;
• and
• transferring said plurality of management policies from system policy decision point to a plurality of layer policy decision points.

A mobile terminal enabling cross layer interaction, said device comprising:

• a policy management tool;
• a policy repository tool coupled to said policy management tool and storing policies generated by the policy management tool;
• and
• a policy decision point coupled to said policy management tool and said policy decision point.
