DEVICE AND METHOD FOR IMPROVED DRX FOR USE WITH TCP

摘要

A TCP Proxy node (110) for use in a communications network (100), the TCP Proxy node (110) being arranged to receive TCP Packets originating from a first node (105) in a core network in the communications network and to transmit said TCP Packets for reception by an end user (120,121, 122) in a radio access network in the communications network (100). The TCP proxy node (110) is arranged to be informed about an inactivity period during which the end user (120,121, 122) is unable to receive TCP Packets, and to schedule said transmissions of TCP Packets so that they are received by the end user (120,121, 122) outside of said inactivity period.
