Abstract: This invention relates to the multiplexing of multiple sources in a multiplexer. A special arrangement is used for calculating an efficient peak capacity value that guarantees good performance for an outgoing link. The invention uses a method with two phases. The first phase precalculates the capacity of the outgoing link with different numbers of incoming links having equal packet size, and forms a table from the results of the precalculation. In the second phase, the peak capacity needed for the outgoing link is calculated using the precalculated tables.

Abstract: The present invention proposes a method for configuring a data transmission interface in a communication network adopting a transmission protocol for transmission of data in units of grouped data, wherein said transmission interface is the interface (Iub) between an access network control node (RNC1) and an access node (BS1-BS6) adapted to establish a communication to a terminal, and wherein said communication network has a topology such that an access node (BS2, BS3, BS5, BS6) is connected to said access network control node (RNC1) by an intermediate of at least one further access node (BS1,BS1-BS2, BS4, BS4), said method comprising the steps of: deriving a delay information of the delay experienced by data transmission between a respective network access node (BS1-BS6) and said access network control node (RNC), calculating a delay difference between two consecutive access nodes (BS1-BS2, BS2-BS3, BS4-BS5, BS4-BS6) based on said delay information, and modifying the delay experienced by data transmission for

Abstract: A switching method and a switching apparatus in a telecommunication network for connecting physical endpoints via a through switch connection, wherein the through switch connection is composed of legs and a leg connector, and a leg is composed of services and subconnections between the services. A leg being terminated by termination points and comprising specific services is formed by leg control means, and the specific services and subconnections between the specific services which form the leg are provided by connection control means, the services being terminated by termination points. Further, connection admission control means accept connections being part of the through switch connection.

Abstract: A sub data packet (370-3) for transferring data between a first and second node comprising a payload (38) of data comprising a portion of the data from an original data packet (30) and a header (39) including an end-of-packet flag (41) which can be set to indicate if the payload of data in said sub data packet comprises the data segment from the end of the original data packet (30) and a priority identifier (40) located in the header indicating a transmission priority of the original data packet.

Abstract: This invention relates to the forming of a communication network. The invention offers a common arrangement and a method to handle all tasks in the process of forming a communication network. The arrangement is divided into several modules, each carrying out certain tasks. The modules interwork with each other. A user selects the modules needed for forming a network. The selection depends on the network that is formed. Routine tasks have been automated in the arrangement. An iterative forming of a network is possible. The arrangement offers an interface to existing networks.
