Patent number: 8570924Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and arrangement for efficient use of network resources, in particular for continuous connectivity services. The present invention introduces a set of established rules for uplink and/or downlink activity detection such that a Node B and/or a UE is enabled to detect active and inactive transmission periods on links for reception of packet data transmission and can independently arrange for inactivity/activity state transitions without any need of further signalling. Such a set of rules can be communicated to the Node B and the user equipment, e.g., from the radio network controller (RNC), or can consist of a predefined set of fixed rules that is readily implemented in said units.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2006Date of Patent: October 29, 2013Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Dirk Gerstenberger, Stefan Parkvall, Johan Bergman

Patent number: 8572620Abstract: The invention relates to a method, device and system for management of resource in a communication network having a resource owner (RO) providing the resource and at least one resource user (RU) using the resource. According to the present invention a resource broker is introduced between the resource owner and the at least one resource user. Said broker is arranged to perform a management procedure for deciding whether to perform a allocation, keeping or release of resource. In order to take a decision a resource usage measure (TTL) is used. In accordance with the present invention said measure is updated when user's usage measure (Keep Alive, InterestMsg) informing about the expected usage of the resource by a resource user is obtained. The update is performed by means of a cumulative algorithm taking into account current and past values of the resource usage measure (TTL).Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2004Date of Patent: October 29, 2013Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Frank Hundscheidt, Alexandru Hlibiciuc
