A method comprising running an application on user equipment; providing a mobility service; using a packet switched connection when said mobility service is unavailable; and using said mobility service when said mobility service becomes available.

Method of providing a mobility service

A method for performing charging in a telecommunications system, comprising: storing at a subscriber information store subscription information including charging arrangement information indicative of the charging arrangement for a first communication terminal operating in the telecommunications system; providing by means of packet data interface apparatus packet data communication services to the first terminal, the packet data interface apparatus being capable of interfacing between the first communication terminal and a packet-switched data link to another communications terminal; generating by means of packet data interface apparatus charging messages indicative of the usage of the packet data communication services by the first terminal; transferring the charging messages to charging apparatus; and performing by means of the charging apparatus a charging operation to attribute to a subscriber for the first communications terminal a charge for use of the communication services by the first terminal; the method further including the steps of: transferring the charging arrangement information to the packet data interface apparatus; and storing at the packet data interface apparatus the charging arrangement information for the first communication terminal; and wherein the stop of generating charge messages comprises generating the said charging messages dependant on the charging arrangement information for the first communication terminal.

Charging efficiency for a mobile subscriber based on pre-paid or flat-rate billing arrangements

A method and a GGSN support node for sending data packets to a mobile station in a mobile communications system from an external communication system. The GGSN receives data packets from the external communication system in a first plurality of data flows which it maps to a second plurality of data flows in the mobile communications system. It establishes at least one filter for controlling the mapping and associates the filter with the mobile station. It also maps at least one of the data flows on the basis of the filter and configures the filter on the basis of information which preferably originates from the mobile station.

Transporting QoS mapping information in a packet radio network

In an aspect, an apparatus is provided including a mapping device configured to establish mapping information for delivery order attributes corresponding to different transmission protocol types, and a detection device configured to detect a transmission protocol type for the transmission of data packets. The apparatus further includes a decision device configured to decide whether the detected protocol type is a predetermined type, and a setting device configured to set, based on the mapping information and the decision result, a delivery order attribute as a parameter for transmission of data packets in a packet data network if the predetermined protocol type is not present.

Packet data transmission in third generation mobile system

A method and network elements for transmission of data packets in a data packet network, wherein at least a delivery order attribute (DOA) is detected as a parameter for transmission of data packets, and whether the DOA parameter is set is determined. If the DOA parameter is set, a traffic class of transmitted data packets is determined and the transmitted data packets are processed dependent on the determined traffic class. In addition, a method is used to set the DOA as a parameter for transmission of data packets in a packet data network.
