Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for signaling support that define an open and extensible end-to-end network architecture. One method includes extracting, by an interface to a base station system, real-time and context related information from a radio access network, and transmitting the extracted real-time and context related information to an interface to a transport system.

Radio access network (RAN) transport evolved packet core (EPC) synergy

An embodiment includes determining estimate(s) of bandwidth for class(es) of quality of service to be implemented in base station(s) for service(s) provided to user equipment by the base station(s), determining expiration time(s) for corresponding ones of the estimate(s) of bandwidth, and communicating indications of the same toward mobile backhaul node(s). At a backhaul node, the indications are received and, based on the received indications, downstream bandwidth is modified for user equipment of different quality of service classes, wherein the downstream bandwidth passes through the mobile backhaul node toward the base station(s). Apparatus, software, and computer program products are also disclosed.

Mobile backhaul dynamic QoS bandwidth harmonization

A method transfers information from and/or to a subscriber-sided communication device wherein at least one first communication relationship between the subscriber-sided communication device and a decentralized communication device which is associated with at least one communication network is established. Also, at least one additional communication relationship between the central communication device and a network access communication network is established. First information can be exchanged between the subscriber-sided communication device and the superior communication network via the first and the at least one additional communication relationship. Additional information which is transferred via the at least one communication network to the decentralized communication device is transferred via the first communication relationship to the subscriber-sided communication device. Advantageously, traditional subscriber-sided communication devices and network-sided network access devices and multimedia-data sources can still be used for using current and future multimedia-data services.

Method, communication arrangement and communication device for transferring information

A network layer device controls provision of data link layer functionality by a data link layer device to provide a requested multimedia service to a subscriber. For example, the network layer device may control the performance of multicast elaboration by the data link layer device, or the queuing and forwarding of packets by the data link layer device to facilitate transmission of packets according to a Quality of Service class. The network layer device may send control messages to the data link layer device to dynamically configure a control object stored by the data link layer device, such as multicast filter information or a Quality of Service profile. The network layer device may be a service edge router, and the data link layer device may be a customer premises equipment device, e.g., a modem or wireless access point, or a switch, e.g., a digital subscriber line access multiplier.
