Publication number: 20170289836Abstract: The embodiments herein relate to a method in a UE for handling transmission of an uplink data packet to a PDN. The UE determines if there is any uplink packet filter assigned to at least one bearer that matches the uplink data packet. When there is no uplink packet filter that matches the uplink data packet, the UE determines if there is any uplink packet filter on the default bearer. When there is no uplink packet filter that matches the uplink data packet and when there is no uplink packet filter on the default bearer, the UE determines that the uplink packet should be transmitted to the PDN using a default bearer. The default bearer has not been assigned any uplink packet filter.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2015Publication date: October 5, 2017Inventor: Lars Lövsén

Patent number: 9602417Abstract: The embodiments herein relates to a method for enabling multiple bearer support upon congestion situations in a communication network. The PCC architecture is enabled to determine whether separate bearers need to be established for service(s) that demand MBR>GBR when no ECN support is provided. This is provided in nodes and methods receiving, using a receiving unit (301), an indication of session establishment for a bearer from a bearer binding function unit (113, 115), obtaining profile information with Quality of Service, QoS, information about maximum bit rate, MBR, and guaranteed bit rate, GBR, related to the bearer; determining that the MBR is larger than the GBR, making a policy decision, and transmitting, using the transmitting unit (305), an acknowledgement of session establishment to the bearer binding function unit with an indicator that a separate bearer is to be established.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2012Date of Patent: March 21, 2017Assignee: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET LM ERICSSON (publ)Inventors: Lars Lovsen, Susana Fernandez Alonso, Maria Belen Pancorbo Marcos

Patent number: 9319867Abstract: At present, applying conventional policy and charging control in scenarios where a huge amount of users is supported, such as machine-to-machine type communication devices, represents a number of drawbacks, such as the amount of data to be stored in subscriber databases and the access rate, the signalling load, and the processing performance of nodes. The present invention provides for a method of policy control and enhanced apparatuses enabling the support of user community profiles that apply to a plurality of subscribers, the generation and enforcement of community policy and charging rules derived from the user community profiles and preferably installed upon establishment of a session for a first user. Further sessions to be established for subsequent users of the plurality of users would be enforced with said community policy and charging rules without needs for handling them on individual basis.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2012Date of Patent: April 19, 2016Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Ignacio Rivas Molina, Lars Lövsén, Maria Belen Pancorbo Marcos, Louis Segura

Patent number: 9282483Abstract: Traffic flow template filters with policy control and charging rule precedence are provided in a network. A request from a wireless device to add or modify at least one traffic flow template, TFT, filter, with a requested TFT filter precedence value for a particular bearer associated with the wireless device is received. A policy and charging control, PCC, rule precedence range, corresponding to the TFT filter is then determined. The determined PCC rule precedence range is transmitted to a policy and charging rules function, PCRF, block.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2012Date of Patent: March 8, 2016Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Lars Lövsén, Sven-Ove Emanuelsson, Susana Fernandez Alonso, Maria Belen Pancorbo Marcos
