Abstract
Embodiments herein relate to a method in a receiving node (12) for handling packets for a wireless device (10) in a radio communications network (1). The receiving node (12) receives a packet from a transmitting node (13). The packet is marked with a value, wherein the value is corresponding to a level of importance of the packet along a linear scale. The receiving node (12) handles the packet based on the value and an expected amount of resources needed to serve the packet.
Claims22
A method in a receiving node for handling packets for a wireless device in a radio communications network, comprising:
- receiving a packet from a transmitting node, which packet is marked with a value, wherein the value is corresponding to a level of importance of the packet along a linear scale;
- and
- handling the packet based on the value and an expected amount of resources needed to serve the packet.
A method in a transmitting node for handling packets for a wireless device in a radio communications network, comprising
- marking a packet with a value, which value is corresponding to a level of importance of the packet along a linear scale;
- and
- transmitting the packet to a receiving node.
