METODO Y NODO PARA ESTABLECER CONEXIONES PRIORITARIAS EN REDES DE TELECOMUNICACIONES.

摘要

In a method for establishing a priority connection in a telecommunication network with a plurality of nodes ( 1 - 4 ) for processing the connection, the nodes ( 1 - 4 ) comprise resources, which can be attributed for processing the connection and a timer for supervising the connection establishment. An expiry of the timer releasing the resources attributed to the connection. A first of said nodes ( 1 ) receives a request to set up a priority connection and selects a first of said timers according to an expiry value specified for priority connections. The first node ( 1 ) then sends an indication of the connection priority and a queuing indication for the timer selection to a further node ( 2 ) processing the connection. The further node ( 2 ) checks whether an indication of a connection priority and a queuing indication is received and selects, according to the result of the check, a further of said timers according to an expiry value specified for priority connections. A node, a communication system and a program unit for implementing the method are also described.
