The invention relates to a mobile LAN including a number of hosts interconnected by a communication media. Routing means and a mobile station is connected to the LAN. A host on the LAN may perform a packet data communication with an external host via the routing means and the mobile station. Translation means is connected to the routing means for the temporary translation of a locally defined network layer address assigned to a host on the LAN into a globally defined network layer address when the host on the LAN performs a packet data communication with an external host.

Method and an arrangement in a mobile radio system

A system and method for allocating system resources to provide a selected quality of service in connection with data communications. A mobile user station requests a first quality of service level for a data communication session. In response to a determination that system resources for providing the first quality of service level are unavailable, the system assigns resources for providing a second quality of service level for the data communication session. Thereafter, during the communication session, the system monitors the availability of system resources. If system resources for providing the first quality of service level become available, the system allocates the system resources for use by the user station and upgrades or downgrades the communication session accordingly.

Dynamic upgrade of quality of service in a packet switched network

A method and system enables a packet-switched data communication in a wireless communications system to be quickly and easily reestablished after interruption. The computer communications protocol that has been negotiated during the establishment of the packet-switched data communication may be saved upon interruption and later restored. In an exemplary embodiment, a wireless subscriber activates a call-waiting-type service along with an option to retain a packet-switched data communication. Thereafter, the subscriber may be engaged in a data communication on a packet data channel of the wireless communications system. Acceptance of a subsequent incoming, circuit-switched voice call causes the data packet session to be suspended, but the negotiated parameters of the computer communications protocol are saved. After the subscriber terminates the voice call, another data packet session is established with the saved parameters without needing to renegotiate the computer communications protocol parameters. Packet data applications that, have not timed-out may resume execution without reinitialization.

Retaining a data communication while responding to a paging notification

A communications network and method for screening incoming circuit switched calls directed to a mobile terminal operating in packet switched mode. The communications network includes a circuit switched network and a packet switched network. A called party uses the mobile terminal to transmit to the packet switched network a screening list containing at least one listed phone number. The packet switched network uses the screening list to inform the called party whenever an incoming circuit switched call of a calling party has a phone number matching anyone of the listed phone numbers.
