Evolutionary Node B, Mobility Management Entity, and User Equipment, and Methods to Support Noteworthy Services and Unsustained Services

摘要

Embodiments of an Evolved Node-B (eNB) to support packet-switched (PS) services according to EPS bearers are disclosed herein. The eNB may receive an EPS bearer setup message from an MME for an establishment of an EPS bearer for a PS service between a User Equipment (UE) and a PGW. The EPS bearer setup message may include an attention indicator for the PS service that indicates whether traffic for the PS service is attended or unattended at the UE. The eNB may further transmit traffic packets to and receive traffic packets from the UE 102 as part of the PS service. In addition, the eNB may use the attention indicator as part of congestion control in the network.
