UPLINK MAXIMUM BIT RATE CONTROL

摘要

An improved Maximum Bit Rate (MBR) control in a radio packet communication network is disclosed. According to the invention, a User Equipment (UE) in the network evaluates each packet being added to a transmission buffer, based on a MBR level, considering each evaluated packet as being either a conformant or a non-conformant packet, wherein a packet is considered to be non-conformant if it, at the time for the evaluation, is intended to be dropped or delayed. Further, the UE creates a Buffer Status Report (BSR), including data volume information relating only to packets in the transmission buffer being considered as conformant packets, and transmits the BSR to a node performing Medium Access Control (MAC) in the network.
