Mobile network optimization

摘要

It is described a mobile network (100) with a first network node (102) and a second network node (104), the mobile network providing a user plane (114) for transporting transmission packets (120), which contain user data, and a further network layer plane (116) different from the user plane (114). A method of operating the first network node (102) comprises sending an information element (118) to the second network node (104) via a network layer protocol of the further network layer plane (116) wherein the information element (118) indicates optimizing capabilities of the first network node (102) or of a other network node of the mobile network of processing an optimized transmission packet. A method of operating a second network node (202) comprises receiving the information element (118) from the first network node (102) via a network layer protocol of the further network layer plane (116), and processing the information element (118).
