Abstract
An apparatus and a method are described, by which at least one bearer containing data for a user equipment is received and a connection to the user equipment is provided via a radio access network. Furthermore, transmission of the data for the user equipment is scheduled based on a scheduling parameter associated to the bearer. Moreover, parameter change information associated to the bearer is detected, the parameter change information indicating how the scheduling parameter is to be changed, and the parameter change information for the bearer is stored in the memory.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- a first connection unit configured to receive at least one bearer containing data for a user equipment,
- a second connection unit configured to provide a connection to the user equipment via a radio access network,
- a memory including computer program code, and
- a processor, wherein the memory and the computer code are configured, with the processor, to cause the apparatus at least:
- to schedule transmission of the data for the user equipment based on a scheduling parameter associated to the bearer;
- to detect parameter change information associated to the bearer, the parameter change information indicating how the scheduling parameter is to be changed;
- and
- to store the parameter change information for the bearer and time information indicating the time of detecting the parameter change information in the memory.
A method comprising:
- receiving at least one bearer containing data for a user equipment, providing a connection to the user equipment via a radio access network;
- scheduling transmission of the data for the user equipment based on a scheduling parameter associated to the bearer;
- detecting parameter change information associated to the bearer, the parameter change information indicating how the scheduling parameter is to be changed;
- and
- storing the parameter change information for the bearer and time information indicating the time of detecting the parameter change information in the memory.
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code, wherein the at least one memory and the computer code are configured, with the at least one processor, to cause the apparatus to at least perform the following:
- receiving at least one bearer containing data for a user equipment, providing a connection to the user equipment via a radio access network;
- scheduling transmission of the data for the user equipment based on a scheduling parameter associated to the bearer;
- detecting parameter change information associated to the bearer, the parameter change information indicating how the scheduling parameter is to be changed;
- and
- storing the parameter change information for the bearer and time information indicating the time of detecting the parameter change information in the memory.
