Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The embodiments herein relates to a method for enabling multiple bearer support upon congestion situations in a communication network. The PCC architecture is enabled to determine whether separate bearers need to be established for service(s) that demand MBR>GBR when no ECN support is provided. This is provided in nodes and methods receiving, using a receiving unit ( 301 ), an indication of session establishment for a bearer from a bearer binding function unit ( 113, 115 ), obtaining profile information with Quality of Service, QoS, information about maximum bit rate, MBR, and guaranteed bit rate, GBR, related to the bearer; determining that the MBR is larger than the GBR, making a policy decision, and transmitting, using the transmitting unit ( 305 ), an acknowledgement of session establishment to the bearer binding function unit with an indicator that a separate bearer is to be established.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An infrastructure node for handling bearer establishment in a telecommunications network comprising a processing unit; a receiving unit; and a transmitting unit; wherein the processing unit is arranged to: receive, using the receiving unit, an indication of session establishment for a bearer from a bearer binding function unit, obtain profile information with Quality of Service, QoS, information about maximum bit rate, MBR, and guaranteed bit…
