OPTIMIZING THE USAGE OF RADIO RESOURCES BY CROSS-LAYER READING OF INFORMATION FROM HIGHER LEVEL CONTROL PLANE PROTOCOL LAYER

摘要

Methods and apparatuses relating to optimization of radio network resources between user equipments operating in a cell and nodes in a cellular radio communication network are provided. Cross-layer information is read from higher level control plane protocol layer packets being transported, before or during lower level control plane protocol layer procedures being performed between a user equipment and a node or between two nodes. The lower level control plane protocol layer procedures are optimized by using the analyzed control plane information received.
