  • Patent number: 7545814
    Abstract: The invention provides a method and system for relieving temporal overload conditions in a router when weighted queues are employed to forward packets to their next destination. Typically, a received packet is mapped to a weighted queue that is associated with the kind of data included in the packet. The invention employs a threshold value to determine when an overloading condition of a weighted queue is so severe that high priority packets are in danger of being dropped. As long as this condition occurs, the invention will remap higher priority packets from a weighted queue associated with the kind of data included in the packets to another weighted queue that is not as loaded and which normally would not be associated with kind of data included in the packets at risk of being dropped.

  • Publication number: 20050044130
    Abstract: The invention relates to a radio system and a method for optimizing resources in a radio system. The method comprises: transferring transport network information about traffic in a transport network of the radio system to a radio network of the radio system, the transport network connecting network elements of the radio network and the radio network to a core network of the radio system; a serving network element of the radio network routing a telecommunications connection of user equipment via the serving network element to the core network. The method further comprises adjusting between the serving network element and the user equipment the telecommunications connection of the user equipment, based on the transport network information.
