Configuring compression in packet-switched data transmission
First Claim
1. A method of configuring the use of a compression method in a packet-switched mobile system comprising a terminal for which characteristics parameters are specified comprising at least the compression methods supported by the terminal, and a radio network, in which a functional entity is configured for configuring a compression method to a radio bearer, the method comprising configuring the use of a compression method on simultaneous radio bearers of the terminal in said functional entity on the basis of the characteristics parameters transmitted by the terminal, updating, by the user of the terminal, the parameters specifying the compression methods of the terminal in the terminal, modifying the characteristics parameters of the terminal in accordance with said update, transmitting the modified characteristics parameters to said functional entity comprised by the radio network, and configuring the use of a compression method for each simultaneous radio bearer on the basis of the modified characteristics parameters.

Abstract
A method of configuring a compression method for a terminal in a mobile system. The mobile system comprises a terminal for which characteristics parameters are specified comprising at least the compression methods supported by the terminal, and a radio network, in which a functional entity is configured for specifying a compression method to a radio bearer. The use of a compression method on the radio bearers of the terminal is specified on the basis of the characteristics parameters transmitted by the terminal. The user of the terminal updates the parameters specifying the compression methods of the terminal, the characteristics parameters of the terminal being modified in the terminal in accordance with this update, and the modified characteristics parameters are transmitted to a function comprised by the radio network. The modified characteristics parameters are used to configure the use of a compression method for each simultaneous radio bearer of the terminal.

7. A terminal of a mobile communication system, the terminal comprising means for the user of the terminal to update the parameters specifying the compression methods of the terminal in the terminal and for which terminal characteristics parameters are specified that comprise at least the compression methods supported by the terminal, the terminal being arranged to
modify the characteristics parameters of the terminal in accordance with said update, transmit the modified characteristics parameters to the radio network of the mobile communication system, and receive from the radio network the settings of the use of a compression method on each simultaneous radio bearer of the terminal specified on the basis of said modified characteristics parameters.
