Abstract
The invention relates to a method for allocating resources for a data transmission connection between a wireless communication device and a mobile communication network. In the method, the information to be transmitted is divided into at least a first and a second quality of service class. For the data transmission connection, either a fixed resource or a dynamic resource is allocated on the basis of the quality of service class in which the information to be transmitted in the data transmission connection is classified.
Claims14
A method for allocating resources for a data transmission connection between a wireless communication device and a mobile communication network comprising:
- dividing information to be transmitted on the basis of a quality of service class to be used for transmission;
- allocating a fixed resource for the data transmission connection for information having a quality of service class for which a fixed resource is to be utilized;
- and
- allocating a dynamic resource for the data transmission connection for information having a quality of service class for which a dynamic resource is to be utilized.
A communication device for processing and transmitting information to be transmitted in packet form in one or more data transmission connections, the communication device comprising:
- circuitry for dividing the information on the basis of a quality of service class to be used for transmission;
- and
- means for allocating resources for each said data transmission connection on the basis of the quality of service class in which the information to be transmitted in the data transmission connection is divided, wherein the means for allocating resources comprise means for fixed resource allocation and means for dynamic resource allocation.
A communication system, in which information is arranged to be transmitted in packet form in one or more data transmission connections between a wireless communication device (MS) and a mobile communication network, the communication system comprising:
- circuitry for dividing the information on the basis of a quality of service class to be used for transmission;
- means for allocating resources for each said data transmission connection on the basis of the quality of service class in which the information to be transmitted in the data transmission connection is divided, wherein the means for allocating resources comprise means for fixed resource allocation and means for dynamic resource allocation.
A method for allocating resources for a data transmission connection between a wireless communication device and a mobile communication network comprising:
- dividing information to be transmitted on the basis of a quality of service class to be used for transmission;
- allocating a fixed resource for the data transmission connection for information having a first quality of service class;
- and
- allocating a dynamic resource for the data transmission connection for information having another quality of service class.
