Abstract: A method for managing radio resources allocated by a radio network controller of a UTRAN radio access network, where the resources support a plurality of service requests identified by a radio access bearer service request sent by the core network and describing the required QoS as a set of RAB parameters defined by mapping with corresponding QoS parameters of the core network, the controller is provided to distribute the resources amongst the bearer services and to modulate the allocation of the resources according to the priority level associated with each of the bearer services, and the priority level is defined by the “priority level” sub-parameter of the “Allocation Retention Priority” RAB parameter, with a value determined by taking into account the value of the “Allocation Retention Priority” QOS parameter of the core network and the value of at least one QoS parameter associated with the type of service.

Abstract: A service node (520) for filtering in a wireless communication network short messages sent by a communication party (510) to a mobile device (530), said service node being arranged to intercept a first short message sent by the communication entity to the mobile equipment, find, upon determining that the intercepted short message is a data update short message comprising a data update for the mobile equipment, if the first short message comprises an indication that the communication party is requesting a proof of receipt message issued by said mobile equipment in reply to the reception of said first short message, in the same byte format as the first short message, provided the indication is found, modify the subsequent transmission of the first short message to the mobile device when said communication party matches a predefined criterion.

Abstract: A mobile device (301) for use in a wireless communication network, said mobile device comprising a processor (335) arranged to send a short message delivery receipt to a communication party, after normal receipt by the communication device of a first short message sent by said communication party, said first short message delivery receipt being in a byte format different than the received first short message, send mobile originated (MO) short messages, of the same byte format as the received first short message, transfer the received first short message to an identification module (350) of the mobile device when said first short message is identified as a data update message comprising a data update for said identification module, either one of the processor and the authentication module being further arranged, upon determination by the authentication module that the communication party requested that proof of receipt (PoR) data for the data update be inserted in a new MO short message serving as a PoR messag

Abstract: The invention relates to management of radio resources allocated to communication channels each associated with requested QoS parameters in a mobile communication network, consisting of the following if there is a lack of resources when accepting a new channel request: a—identify (30, 35) channels that might be preempted and among them, select (40) the lowest priority channel using an associated priority level; b—evaluate (50, 55) the gain in resources obtained by at least partially reconfiguring it, said channel and said gain being memorized; c—check (70) if the gain achieved by memorized channels is sufficient to support said new request, d—repeat steps a to c: until the gain obtained is sufficient, in which case memorized channels are reconfigured and the new request is accepted (80), or until all channels that could be preempted have been evaluated without obtaining sufficient gain, in which case the new request is refused (90).
