A bandwidth packing rate control technique includes altering bandwidth allocations of existing flows on a link depending on a current utilization of a current bandwidth allocation for a flow. A disclosed example decreases the bandwidth allocation for flows that are utilizing a current bandwidth allocation below a selected target utilization rate. Flows with higher utilization can receive increased bandwidth allocation, which provides increased throughput for such flows. One overall result of a disclosed example is increased utilization and increased throughput using existing bandwidth resources.

A method is provided of determining priorities of radio bearer channels in a wireless telecommunications network that offers various predetermined levels of quality of service. The method involves determining a numerical value representing a priority rating to be applied to a radio bearer channel. This is done by assigning each of at least two quality of service attributes of the bearer channel with a respective numerical value, then processing the values to provide the priority rating for the bearer channel.

A method is provided of controlling traffic load on a link in a telecommunications network. The link carries user sessions of non-real time, NRT, and real time, RT, services. The method comprises periodically monitoring traffic load on the link in the network. The method further comprises successively restricting alternately NRT and RT traffic on said link so as to bring said load below a predetermined level.
