A system and method for allocating system resources to provide a selected quality of service in connection with data communications. A mobile user station requests a first quality of service level for a data communication session. In response to a determination that system resources for providing the first quality of service level are unavailable, the system assigns resources for providing a second quality of service level for the data communication session. Thereafter, during the communication session, the system monitors the availability of system resources. If system resources for providing the first quality of service level become available, the system allocates the system resources for use by the user station and upgrades or downgrades the communication session accordingly.

Dynamic upgrade of quality of service in a packet switched network

The present invention comprises a method and means for setting a personal communication station into a selected operational mode, which comprises a pre-selected subset of operational settings within a superset of operational settings. The station is capable of communicating in at least one communication network. The method includes a sequence of steps, which begins with initiating the station (,). A first prompting message is then presented (,) to the user who is then requested to respond to the prompting message. The response (,) is then interpreted (,), whereby a negative response entails setting the station into a stand-by mode (,) and an affirmative response entails presenting a number of prompting messages (,), which requests a user to supply a number of responses (,) which comprise the operational settings in the pre-selected subset of operational settings.

Method and an arrangement relating to equipment in telecommunication networks

A man-machine interface (MMI) help and search tool in association with a menu structure and selection capability is disclosed. According to an exemplary embodiment, the mobile phone and more specifically the MMI are provided with a help search function to instruct the user how to find, activate, or select a desired function of the phone. The user may search for any and all commands regarding a specific subject of interest to the user. The search tool is intelligent and may be used to identify a specific command or function or to conduct a search based on a letter or partial command to provide listings and instructions for any number or series of related commands in a specific subject area. When the user has found the desired command the search tool may be used to explain how the command is accessed and activated and allow the user to automatically go to that menu or execute that command. The search tool can easily be accessed from any number of menus for example, via a hard or soft button can be placed in a search mode and use the initials of the functions or commands as to find and execute a desired function quickly without having to step through various levels of menus.
