Abstract: A network component for classifying at least one IP flow for efficient quality of service realization in a network, where in one embodiment the network component includes a unit for detecting at least one IP flow from at least one IP packet.

As non-limiting examples, the first device may be one of a mobile station or a base station, the second device may be one of a mobile station, a base station or a center node, and if one of the first device or the second device is a mobile station then the other of the first device and the second device is not a mobile station.

Abstract: A method, computer program, and apparatus adaptively select a segmentation option for service data units based on a bandwidth allocation. In general terms, one of a first segmentation option or a second segmentation option is selected based on a bandwidth allocation that is selected from among several possible bandwidth allocation options. A service data unit is segmented according to the selected segmentation option and wirelessly transmitted. In an embodiment, the first segmentation option uses a predetermined length such as a fixed length that may be chosen to match an IP packet size, or a predetermined maximum length to which the size of segmented units are constrained, and segmentation occurs prior to packet scheduling. In an embodiment, the second segmentation option uses a dynamic length that changes per transmission time interval, and segmentation occurs after packet scheduling and after the size of the transport block is determined.

In response to determining that the user equipment has the need to establish uplink synchronization with the base station, a determination is made if uplink resources are available on a non-contention-based channel for the user equipment. In response to determining that uplink resources are available on the non-contention-based channel for the user equipment, the uplink resources are dedicated on the non-contention-based channel to the user equipment and an indication of the dedicated uplink resources is communicated to the user equipment. Using at least the uplink resources, the user equipment is synchronized on the non-contention-based channel in order to receive information from the user equipment.

Abstract: A series of logical channel identifiers LCIDs, each associated with one radio link service profile RLSP, is stored in a local memory. The local memory is accessed whenever a LCID is taken into use for identifying an active logical channel, and each RLSP includes a set of radio link service parameters at least one of which is a quality of service parameter. A first data packet bearing a LCID and establishing a flow is received over a wireless logical channel. The local memory is accessed to determine if an RLSP is associated with the LCID of the first data packet. For the case where an RLSP is not associated with the LCID in the local memory, the LCID is associated with a designated default RLSP, and the first data packet is processed using the designated default RLSP. Predetermined and custom RLSPs are also described, as are methods, devices, programs, an integrated circuits embodying the invention.
