Abstract: Methods and apparatus to provide packet switched service continuity during circuit switched fallback operation are described. One example method includes determining that a target system does not support packet switched handover; determining if non-3GPP access for packet switched service is available; and triggering handover to the non-3GPP access.

Abstract: A method for communicating in a telecommunications system is provided. The method comprises conveying a downlink bit rate and an uplink bit rate associated with an access point name to a user agent.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and system for managing loss of packets in data transmissions is provided. In a method embodiment, selective acknowledgements are received at a sending computer from a receiving computer. The sending computer is configured to analyze patterns in the selective acknowledgements and infer a type of packet loss. As a result of the inference, the packet delivery strategy from the sending computer can be adjusted.

Abstract: A method for reducing congestion in a wireless communication network is presented. The method includes monitoring a congestion level of at least one network node of the network. When the congestion level is greater than a first threshold, the method includes initiating a first congestion control mechanism. When the congestion level is greater than a second threshold, the method includes initiating a second congestion control mechanism, the second threshold being greater than the first threshold. In some implementations, the first congestion control mechanism includes codec rate adaptation (CRA), and the second congestion control mechanism includes at least one of rejecting new service requests and dropping existing services. The method may include, after initiating the first congestion control mechanism, starting a timer and, when the timer reaches a pre-determined value and the congestion level is greater than the first threshold, initiating the second control mechanism.
