COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

A communication system (1) is disclosed in which a core network node (11) generates configuration data including a first parameter for controlling data throughput (such as an aggregate maximum bit rate value) for a relaying user device (3-2) in dependence on whether or not the relaying user device (3-2) has a relaying connection with another user communication device (3-1, 3-3). The core network node (11) transmits the generated configuration data to another network node (5, 14) for managing communications with the relaying user device (3-2).

主权项

1. A core network node comprising:
a unit for generating:
first configuration data identifying a first parameter for controlling data throughput for communications with a relaying user device when said relaying user device does not have a relaying connection with at least one other user communication device; andsecond configuration data identifying a second parameter for controlling data throughput for communications with said relaying user device when said relaying user device does have a relaying connection with at least one other user communication device; and transceiver circuitry for communicating said first and second configuration data to another network node for managing communications with said relaying user device.
