A communication method manages the allocation of Quality of Service using a communication network having an application server providing services and user equipment operated by subscriber The method also includes prioritizing a subscriber according to their subscription details for each service provided. The method also includes allocating Quality of Service for a service provided to user equipment according to the priority of a subscriber operating the respective user equipment.

Service specific subscriber priority

An apparatus and a method are provided for multiplexing different sessions using the same authorized contexts for media. The method includes distinguishing different control plane sessions by a user equipment, and identifying media flows of a same application among the different control plane sessions by the user equipment by setting a service identifier. The method further includes sending the service identifier by the user equipment to a call state control function including a policy decision function, and authorizing quality of service for a user plane context by the policy decision function. Furthermore, the method includes enabling, by the policy decision function based on the service identifier, the different control plane sessions with media flows of the same application to share the same user plane context with the authorized quality of service to multiplex the different control plane sessions with media flows of the same application.

Multiplexing media components of different sessions

A session set-up for communicating data via a data network is disclosed. First, a session establishment between a communication apparatus and a serving entity is requested for a service from the serving entity supporting the service. Then, when a requirement of a user connection for the service is determined, an association with a data network for the service is activated via a core network.

Session set-up for time-critical services

A method of multiplexing different sessions using the same authorized contexts for media, comprising: distinguishing the sessions to be multiplexed, by a device; creating a new session on a control plane; indicating media flows of different sessions; and enabling the sessions to share the same authorized context for media, thus being multiplexed.

A system has a first entity and a second entity. The first entity and second entity are arranged to have a control interface therebetween. At least one of said first and second entities is arranged to associate a resource with at least one connection. At least one of said first and second entities has means for checking the status of the connection and to release an associated resource if the connection is terminated.
