OPTIMIZING CHANNEL STATE SWITCH BASED ON THE TRAFFIC VOLUME INDICATOR (TVI) VALUES ASSOCIATED WITH THROUGHPUTS ON THE COMMUNICATION LINKS

摘要

The embodiments herein relate to a method in a network node (101) for handling states associated with a wireless device (105) in a communications network (100). The network node (101) is connected to the wireless device (105) over a communications link (110). The communications link (110) is in a current state. The network node (101) receives, from the wireless device (105) information related to a data activity in the wireless device (105). The received information comprises at least information other than a current amount of data associated with the data activity. Based on the received information, the network node (101) determines a change associated with the current state.
