For allowing a best possible usage of network resources even under congestion conditions a method for operating a wireless network, especially an IP (Internet Protocol) network, is described, wherein a queue management function based on an average queue length in a network element is used. The method is characterized in that a result of a weighting function will be combined or multiplied with the average queue length for determining a combined congestion contribution for use within the queue management function, wherein the weighting function takes into account per-user information on a wireless channel condition. Further, a corresponding wireless network, preferably for carrying out the above mentioned method, is also described.

Method for operating a wireless network and a wireless network

For allowing a very effective resource management and network utilization a method for resource management within a wireless network, especially EPS (Evolved Packet Core) of LTE (Long Term Evolution) network, is described, wherein a congestion control of data-traffic is performed. The method is characterized in that for congestion control a Re-ECN (Explicit Congestion Notification) function will be used wherein the Re-ECN function includes a policing function and a dropping function. Further, a corresponding wireless network is described, preferably for carrying out the above mentioned method.

Method for resource management within a wireless network and a wireless network

A method for determining a server which should respond to a service request from a mobile device, said method comprising: Generating a DNS request which comprises a URI to identify a service requested by said mobile device and in addition to the URI of the requested service an indication of the location of the mobile device; inserting into said DNS request a keyword, which identifies said service DNS request as being a service which is enabled for service migration; forwarding said DNS request to a DNS server; determining by said DNS server a most suitable server responding to said service request, said determination being based on the location of the mobile device as indicated by said indication of the location added to said URI; returning the address of said server which has been determined based on said location to said mobile device.
