Abstract: A method of conveying data unit traffic from a radio terminal in a mobile communication system that comprises an access network (E-UTRAN) and a core network (Evolved Packet Core) is described. It comprises:—receiving (S31) a service request message for data unit communication from said radio terminal, and—performing (S32) a conveying decision procedure, and on the basis of an outcome of said conveying decision procedure, associating a radio channel between an access network entity and a radio terminal with one of —a channel to a dedicated data unit processing entity (P-GW) in said core network for conveying data units from said radio terminal to said dedicated data unit processing entity for processing (S33), and—an access network channel for conveying data units from said radio terminal within said access network (S34).

Abstract: This proxy for at least one end-to-end data flow in a network comprises an estimation unit, for estimating the current minimum data load necessary to occupy the bandwidth available to the flow in the network. The estimation unit outputs a flow's pipe capacity estimation. This proxy also comprises a comparison unit, for comparing the estimated pipe capacity with a predetermined capacity threshold, a decision unit, for deciding to proxy the end-to-end flow if the estimated pipe capacity lies above the capacity threshold, and a routing unit, for routing the flow according to the decision.

Abstract: A technique is disclosed for transferring at least one of a media file and associated usage rights data from a first user unit (110) to a second user unit (120), wherein the media file is identifiable by a central interface (130) unit and includes at least one component of image data, audio data, and video data. Utilizing a communication link between the first and second user units (110, 120), at least one of the media file and the associated usage rights data is transferred from the first user unit to the second user unit, the access by the first user unit (110) to the media file is limited, and the second user unit (120) is provided access to the media file. Subsequently, at least one of the first and second user units (110, 120) is coupled over a communications network to the central interface unit (130) so that the transfer of at least one of the media file and its associated usage rights data from the first user unit (110) to the second user unit (120) may be logged.

Abstract: This proxy for at least one end-to-end data flow in a network comprises an estimation unit, for estimating (40) the current minimum data load necessary to occupy the bandwidth available to the flow in the network. The estimation unit outputs a flow's pipe capacity estimation. This proxy also comprises a comparison unit, for comparing (42) the estimated pipe capacity with a predetermined capacity threshold, a decision unit for deciding (44, 46) to proxy the end-to-end flow if the estimated pipe capacity lies above the capacity threshold, and a routing unit, for routing the flow according to the decision.

Abstract: Method for secure user access to a remote system using a communications device. Access to the system is released only after the input of valid code words via independent communications devices. One of the communications devices may be a data processing unit and the second communications device may be a mobile telephone.

Abstract: A method, and associated apparatus, formats asynchronous data, such as ATM data traffic, and synchronous data, such as synchronous voice traffic, pursuant to a common format. Once formatted pursuant to the common format, data generated during operation of two different types of communication systems can be communicated over a common radio link. A single frequency band can be used to communicate communication signals generated during operation of at least two separate communication systems.
