The present invention relates to a base station arrangement () in a communications system supporting high speed packet data communication, comprising a base station protocol entity for a protocol handling high speed control signalling and physical resource allocation for high speed data communication, quality handling means () adapted to receive and handle channel condition related information from mobile user stations, encoding means for encoding data packets to be transmitted to mobile user station, and transmission control means comprising a scheduling means () communicating with a hybrid automatic retransmission system (HARQ) () and being adapted to control transmission of data packets using said channel condition related information and data packet buffering means (). The base station protocol entity further comprises a control plane entity supporting an extended control plane for control plane signalling messages comprising specific control messages handling means (), adapted to provide a specific probing or information control message and to send said message to a mobile user station.

Arrangement and method for extended control plane signalling in a high speed packet data communication

A method and a system are disclosed for providing a certain quality of service to a user-device within a mobile telecommunication system. The telecommunication system comprises one or several user-registers linked to a user-device, and one or several priority-tables associated with an area covered by the telecommunication system. A user-register is compared with a priority-table when a user-device linked to said user register enters the area associated with said priority-table. The user-device can then be provided with a certain quality of service depending on a possible correspondence between the user-register and the priority-table.
