  • Bandwidth on demand for media services at stationary equipment unit
    Patent number: 7623508
    Abstract: A node (26) of a communications network (20) establishes multiple simultaneous access bearers (38) to a stationary equipment unit (22) which is connected to the node (26) by a essentially fixed location physical link (24). Advantageously, the multiple simultaneous access bearers can have different bandwidths and quality of service capabilities. For example, the node can establish access bearers for providing different types of services to the stationary equipment unit, the different types of services including one of a voice service, a video service, and a data traffic service. Moreover, the multiple simultaneous access bearers include both circuit switched access bearers and packet switched access bearers.
