The aspects of invention relates to determining a bit rate in a communication device, the communication device including a protocol stack for transferring information to a second communication device, the protocol stack including a protocol layer, the protocol layer providing a logical channel for transferring first information through the protocol layer. According to the method, the first information is transferred through the protocol layer via the logical channel and the bit rate in the logical channel is determined on the basis of second information obtainable from the protocol layer. The invention also relates to a method of determining a bit rate when the communication device is receiving information as well as corresponding transmitting and receiving communication devices.

Determination of a bit rate

A method is shown for handling content in a data processing device, the data processing device comprising at least a first application and a data-handling module. The method comprises: synchronizing, in the control of said data-handling module, content of a first external device and at least one file residing in a specific folder of the data processing device, the file being accessible by at least one first application, and the file being generated by means of the first application or the file being directed to the first application, or both.

Handling of content in a data processing device

A user equipment (UE) device ( ) including a mobile terminal (MT) ( &prime;) coupled to a terminal equipment (TE) device ( ) including an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) proxy adjunct (P&plus;) for use by the TE ( ) in making multimedia service requests for IP communications with a desired end-to-end QoS, the end-to-end including the local connection and a network supporting QoS, e.g. an UMTS network ( ) having as an extension of its packet-switched core network ( ) an IMS ( ) providing multimedia services with selected QoS. The IMS proxy adjunct (P&plus;) is implemented to make extensions to messages according to any protocol providing a session description protocol (SDP) component, such as SIP or RTSP, so as to ensure the selected QoS. In addition, a mechanism is provided by which the MT ( &prime;) informs the IMS ( ) when it has IMS proxy capabilities.
