Management of received internet protocol packet bundling for real time services
First Claim
1. A method for managing packet bundling said method comprising:
- determining that a real-time critical service is operating on a mobile device;
identifying a quality of the real-time critical service;
determining a maximum delay for delivery of data packets from a first layer of a protocol stack to a second layer of the protocol stack, based on the quality of the real-time critical servicereceiving one or more data packets in the first layer of the protocol stack over a duration corresponding to the maximum delay for delivery;
if the real-time critical service is operating and the quality of the real-time critical service is beneath a predetermined threshold, disabling data packet bundling; and
delivering the received one or more data packets from the first layer of the protocol stack to the second layer of the protocol stack;
wherein the quality of the real-time critical service is an error rate or a bit rate of the real-time critical service; and
wherein the delivered one or more data packets are not bundled.

Abstract
Disclosed is a method for managing Internet Protocol Packet bundling comprising determining an operation of a real-time critical service (“RTCS”) on a mobile device; determining a data management indicator for the RTCS; where a RTCS is operating, and based on the data management indicator, determining a maximum number of Internet Protocol Packets for bundled delivery from a first layer of a protocol stack to a second layer of the protocol stack; receiving a number of Internet Protocol Packets totaling the maximum number of Internet Protocol Packets for bundled delivery; where the maximum number of Internet Protocol Packets for bundled delivery is greater than one, bundling the number of Internet Protocol Packets, and delivering the number of Internet Protocol Packets the first layer of the protocol stack to the second layer of the protocol stack.

16. A circuit configuration for managing packet bundling, said circuit configuration comprising:
-
a sensing circuit configured to determine that a real-time critical service is operating on a mobile device; a logic circuit configured to identify a quality of the real-time critical service; a protocol stack management circuit configured to determine a maximum delay for delivery of data packets from a first layer of a protocol stack to a second layer of the protocol stack based on the quality of the real-time critical service; receive the data packets in the first layer of the protocol stack during a period equaling the maximum delay for delivery;
if the real-time critical service is operating and the quality of the real-time critical service is beneath a predetermined threshold, to disable data packet bundling, anddeliver the data packets from the first layer of a protocol stack to the second layer of the protocol stack; wherein the quality of the real-time critical service is an error rate or a bit rate of the real-time critical service; and wherein the delivered one or more data packets are not bundled. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
