  • Patent number: 10966217
    Abstract: A wireless base station includes a state-of-emergency determiner, a silent section detector, a priority level controller, a resource allocation request detector, and a resource controller. The state-of-emergency determiner determines a state of emergency. In a case of the state of emergency, the silent section detector detects a silent section for a downlink voice packet. In the case of the state of emergency, the priority level controller lowers a transmission priority level of a packet in the silent section for the downlink voice packet. In the case of the state of emergency, the resource allocation request detector detects a request for allocation of an uplink radio resource to a silent section for an uplink voice packet. In the case of the state of emergency, the resource controller lowers a priority level for the allocation of the uplink radio resource to the silent section for the uplink voice packet.

  • Patent number: 10959285
    Abstract: A method, performed by a gateway node (110), for managing packets on a transport connection between a first end-point (120) and a second end-point (130) is disclosed. The gatewaynode (110) forwards (A020), on the transport connection (105), a first packet from the first end-point (120) to the second end-point (130). The gateway node (110) finds (A040), by inspection of the first packet, that the first packet indicates closing of the transport connection (105) at the first end-point (120). Moreover, the gateway node (110) receives (A120) after the finding (A040), on the transport connection, a second packet from the second end-point (130), wherein the second packet is destined to the first end-point (120). Furthermore, the gateway node (110) discards (A130) the second packet, thereby refraining from forwarding, on the transport connection, the second packet from the second end-point (130) to the first end-point (120). A gateway node (110), a computer program and a computer program carrier are also disclosed.
