Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a network element for determining cell-based values of a parameter of a selected active uplink transport channel multiplexed with other transport channels to a dedicated physical channel. It is proposed that a value for the parameter of the selected uplink transport channel is computed in predetermined periods of time based on the value of at least one available parameter associated to the dedicated physical channel. Further it is determined for the predetermined periods of time for each of the transport channels whether it is active in the respective period of time. Those periods of time for which it was determined that any other than the selected transport channel was active are excluded from supplying a relevant value for the parameter of the selected active uplink transport channel. The invention equally relates to a corresponding communications network and a corresponding communications system.

Abstract: A method and a device for controlling a method for controlling the power in an asymmetric soft handover condition in a communication network, including at least two cells each cell being served by a first type network device adapted to serve second type network devices in the respective cell. The method comprises: temporarily adjusting (step S3) a communication parameter of at least one second type network device to set up and/or maintain the communication of the second type network device with the first type network device of at least one of said cells.

Abstract: Common channel resources can be controlled in the uplink of a communication system. The control of the common channel resources can be dependent upon the quality requirements associated with a radio access for use on the up-link common channel relative to a predetermined quality threshold.

Abstract: This invention concerns a method for controlling at least one radio bearer parameter of a first radio bearer (RB), and a Radio Bearer Control unit. The invention introduces a continuous monitoring and controlling of the RAB-RB parameter mapping for new and for already active connections. According to the invention a method for controlling at least one radio bearer parameter of a first radio bearer (RB) to be established or maintained between a mobile terminal and a first access-network node in a first cell of a cellular radio access network is provided. The first access-network node communicates with a core-network node in a core network to establish or maintain at least one radio access bearer (RAB) between the mobile terminal and the core-network node.
