A method for capacity allocation for packet transfer of streaming traffic in a radio access network

摘要

One object of the present invention is a method for capacity allocation for packet transfer of streaming traffic in a radio access network, using a capacity allocation procedure whereby a base station allocates capacity to a radio network controller for packet transfer at the interface between said radio network controller and said base station, said method comprising allocating more capacity before, and/or after, a traffic interruption, to maintain at least a guaranteed bit rate for said streaming traffic, despite said traffic interruption.
