METHOD FOR THE MAPPING OF PACKET FLOWS TO BEARERS IN A COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

The invention relates to a method for the mapping of packet flows onto bearers in a communication system. The establishment of a session between a terminal and a remote terminal is initiated. Information on the session and packet flows associated with it is received to a second network node. A first network node obtains from the second network node one or two packet classifiers for each of the packet flows. At least a first bearer belonging to the bearers is established between the terminal and the first network node. A packet associated with the first bearer is received in the first network node. The packet is matched with the one or two packet classifiers associated with each of the packet flows to determine a first packet flow among the packet flows. A mapping is established between the first packet flow and the first bearer in the first network node.
