Abstract
A method of signal transmission according to one embodiment includes requesting a packet data serving node to filter a specified traffic flow from among a stream of packets. The method also includes requesting a radio access network to provide an indicated quality-of-service (QoS) treatment for the flow over a wireless air interface. The method further includes rescinding the request to filter or the request to provide a QoS treatment in response to a failure of the other request.
Claims23
A method of signal transmission within a network, said method comprising:
- transmitting a first request from a mobile device to a first node to separate, from among a stream of a plurality of packet flows between the mobile device and the first node, a first flow of packets that match at least one indicated criterion;
- transmitting a second request from the mobile device to a second node to map the first flow of packets onto a wireless air interface according to an indicated quality-of-service (QoS) treatment, wherein the mobile device is adapted to separately and directly negotiate with the first node and the second node to request a particular QoS treatment for the first flow of packets;
- and
- in response to a failure of either the first request to separate or the second request to map, transmitting a rescission request from the mobile device to rescind the other request that did not fail.
A method, operational on a mobile device, of signal transmission, said method comprising:
- transmitting, from a mobile device to a packet data serving node, a first request to install a packet filter at the data serving node;
- transmitting, from the mobile device to a network access node, a second request to map, onto a wireless air interface at the access node and according to an indicated quality-of-service (QoS) treatment, a flow of packets matching the packet filter, wherein the mobile device is adapted to separately and directly negotiate with the packet data serving node and the network access node to request a particular QoS treatment for the flow of packets;
- and
- in response to a failure of either the first request to install a packet filter at the data serving node or the second request to map, transmitting a rescission request from the mobile device to rescind the other request that did not fail.
An apparatus for wireless communications, said apparatus comprising:
- means for generating a first request for a data serving node to separate, from among a stream of a plurality of packet flows between the apparatus and the data serving node, a first flow of packets that match at least one indicated criterion;
- means for generating a second request for a network access node to map the first flow of packets onto a wireless air interface according to an indicated quality-of-service (QoS) treatment, wherein the apparatus is adapted to separately and directly negotiate with the data serving node and the network access node to request a particular QoS treatment for the first flow of packets;
- means for generating a rescission request to rescind one among the first request to separate or the second request to map in response to a failure of the other request that did not fail among the first request to separate or the second request to map.
