Abstract
A method for managing a data stream in a communication system. One or more user stations and switching and management infrastructure are configured with a function that maps packet data protocol addresses of data transmissions to defined service access point identifiers. A packet data context for data transmissions of a packet data service is created by associating a packet data protocol address with a service access point identifier used in an interface between one or more user stations and the switching and management structure. A function is used for determining independently in the one or more user stations or the switching and management infrastructure the service access point identifiers for data transmissions of the packet data service.

A method for managing a packet data stream in a communication system, characterized by comprising:
- configuring the one or more user stations and switching and management infrastructure with a function that maps packet data protocol addresses of data transmissions to defined service access point identifiers;
- creating a packet data context for data transmissions of a packet data service by associating a packet data protocol address with a service access point identifier used in an interface between one or more user stations and the switching and management structure,
- using the function for determining independently in the one or more user stations or the switching and management infrastructure the service access point identifiers for data transmissions of the packet data service.
A method for receiving a packet data stream in a user station for a communication system, characterized by comprising:
- configuring the user station with a function that maps packet data protocol addresses of data transmissions of the data stream to defined service access point identifiers;
- creating a packet data context for data transmissions of a packet data service by associating a packet data protocol address with a service access point identifier used in the interface between the user station and a switching and management structure,
- using the function for determining the service access point identifiers independently of the one or more other user stations or the switching and management infrastructure data transmissions of the packet data service.
A method for transmitting a packet data stream in a switching and management structure element for a communication system, characterized by comprising:
- configuring the switching and management infrastructure element with a function that maps packet data protocol addresses of data transmissions of the data stream to defined service access point identifiers;
- creating a packet data context for data transmissions of a packet data service by associating a packet data protocol address with a service access point identifier used in an interface between one or more user stations and the switching and management structure,
- using the function for determining the service access point identifiers for data transmissions of the packet data service independently of the one or more user stations.
