Abstract
A mobile communication device including a wireless transceiver and a controller is provided. The wireless transceiver performs wireless transmission and reception to and from a cell. The controller determines whether an Application-specific Congestion control for Data Communication (ACDC) has been enabled in the cell in response to a Domain Name Server (DNS) query or Internet Protocol (IP) packet initiated by an application, and in response to the ACDC having been enabled, responds to the DNS query with an IP address or transmits the IP packet to the cell via the wireless transceiver only when the application is associated with a high-priority service.
Claims18
A mobile communication device, comprising:
- a wireless transceiver, configured to perform wireless transmission and reception to and from a cell;
- and
- a controller, configured to determine whether an Application-specific Congestion control for Data Communication (ACDC) has been enabled in the cell in response to a Domain Name Server (DNS) query or Internet Protocol (IP) packet initiated by an application, and in response to the ACDC having been enabled, respond to the DNS query with an IP address or transmit the IP packet to the cell via the wireless transceiver only when the application is associated with a high-priority service.
A method for Application-specific Congestion control for Data Communication (ACDC), executed by a mobile communication device wirelessly communicating with a cell, the method comprising:
- determining whether the ACDC has been enabled in the cell in response to a Domain Name Server (DNS) query or Internet Protocol (IP) packet initiated by an application;
- and
- in response to the ACDC having been enabled, responding to the DNS query with an IP address or transmitting the IP packet to the cell via the wireless transceiver only when the application is associated with a high-priority service.
A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising a computer program, which, when executed, causes a mobile communication device wirelessly communicating with a cell to perform a method for an Application-specific Congestion control for Data Communication (ACDC), wherein the method comprises:
- determining whether the ACDC has been enabled in the cell in response to a Domain Name Server (DNS) query or Internet Protocol (IP) packet initiated by an application;
- and
- in response to the ACDC having been enabled, responding to the DNS query with an IP address or transmitting the IP packet to the cell via the wireless transceiver only when the application is associated with a high-priority service.
