Abstract
A method and an arrangement for transferring information including delay sensitive data, such as speech and video data, in a packet radio service is provided. Data blocks are transmitted from a mobile station to a radio resource entity during a first active data transfer period using an uplink temporary block flow (TBF) connection. The uplink TBF connection is maintained during a passive period that follows the first active data transfer period, wherein during the passive period the mobile station does not send data blocks to the radio resource entity.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving data from a mobile station over a wireless network during a first data transfer period using an uplink temporary block flow (TBF);
- and
- maintaining the uplink TBF during a temporary period after the first data transfer period, wherein the temporary period occurs when the mobile station does not send data over the uplink TBF to the wireless network.
A system comprising:
- a transceiver configured to receive data from a mobile station over a wireless network during a first data transfer period using an uplink temporary block flow (TBF) on a packet data channel between the mobile station and wireless network;
- and
- circuitry configured to maintain the uplink TBF during a temporary period after the first data transfer period, wherein the temporary period occurs when the wireless network does not receive data over the uplink TBF from the mobile station.
An apparatus comprising:
- a communication interface configured to receive data from a mobile station over a wireless network during a first data transfer period using an uplink temporary block flow (TBF);
- and
- a processor configured to maintain the uplink TBF during a temporary period after the first data transfer period, wherein the temporary period occurs when the mobile station does not send data over the uplink TBF to the wireless network.
