Abstract: Controlling data traffic of a communication network managed by a network operator, NWO. The data traffic includes first and second type traffic. The second type traffic is between a data service provider and an end user device provided by the OEM, and the first type traffic is between the OEM and the end user device. A controller acquires one or more device-specific second type traffic consumption parameters of the end user device, causing a downlink data traffic restrictor of the NWO to restrict downlink second type traffic between the data service provider and the end user device in accordance with the one or more device-specific second type traffic consumption parameters, and causes an uplink data traffic restrictor of the end user device to restrict uplink second type traffic between the data service provider and the end user device in accordance with the device-specific second type traffic consumption parameters.

Abstract: A method for control of a telematic control unit comprises obtaining of information of discontinuity-beneficial conditions, associated with a vehicle to which the telematic control unit is connected. The discontinuity-beneficial conditions indicate that an extended discontinuous reception mode would be beneficial for the telematic control unit and the vehicle to which it is connected. A determination of an extended discontinuous reception time for the telematic control unit to propose is obtained. A request for an extended discontinuous reception mode for the telematic control unit is initiated as a response to obtained discontinuity-beneficial conditions, proposing the determined extended discontinuous reception time. A telematic control unit configured for performing such a control method is also presented.
