METHOD, SYSTEM AND DEVICE FOR REDUCING DATA IN A MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK

摘要

A method, system and device for reducing volume of data transmitted between a base station and a control unit in a mobile communications network in which there is inserted into a communication channel between the base station and the control unit a device are provided. Voice data transmitted in each communication channel and associated with a plurality of connections is analyzed. Each connection also includes signaling data a signaling channel, and the connections originating from a base station and terminated in the same or a different base station connected to the device are identified and interconnected, and following the interconnection of the voice channels the transmission of the associated voice data to the control unit is prevented. Thereby, the data volumes transmitted on the voice channels are no longer forwarded to the rest of the mobile communications system and consequently the data volumes transmitted are reduced.
