A method and an apparatus for providing radio access bearer services for different applications in a network having a core network and a radio access network through radio access bearers between the networks are presented. One or more session traffic flows being sent by an application are identified, the identified session is characterized in the form of parameters needed for the determination of the one or more radio access bearers. The characterized parameters are converted into radio access bearer attributes. One or more radio access bearers defined by the attributes are requested and established. Each session is mapped onto a correct radio access bearer established upon receiving the request. The one or more radio access bearers are released when no longer needed.

Method and apparatus for providing radio access bearer services

A method and system for allocating and reallocating communication channel resources in a resource area defined by a number of communication channels. According to the method, arrival probabilities for various types of channel structures are estimated and used as the basis of the allocation and reallocation. Priorities are assigned to the various types of channel structures, and a priority list is disclosed which can be consulted to perform the allocation and reallocation. Preferably, an allocation and a reallocation are performed for each arrival of a channel structure to the resource area, and a reallocation is performed after each departure of a channel structure from the resource area.
