Method for connection reconfiguration in cellular radio network
First Claim
1. A cellular radio network comprising:
- a protocol software of a network layer of a network part arranged to establish a connection to a mobile station through at least one radio bearer;
a protocol software of a network layer of the mobile station arranged to establish a connection to the network part through at least one radio bearer;
the protocol software of the network layer of the network part is further arranged to transmit to the protocol software of the network layer of the mobile station a radio bearer reconfiguration request message concerning at least one radio bearer; and
the protocol software of the network layer of the mobile station is further arranged to transmit to the protocol software of the network layer of the network part a reply message to the radio bearer recognition request message, wherein the radio bearer reconfiguration request message comprises at least one radio bearer identifier and bearer quality of service of the radio bearer in question.

Abstract
The invention relates to a method for reconfiguring a cellular radio network connection comprising a network part having a connection to a mobile station through at least one radio bearer. According to the invention, a first party of the connection, i.e. the network part or the mobile station, sends a second party of the connection, i.e. the mobile station or the network part, a reconfiguration request message concerning at least one radio bearer. The second party of the connection possibly replies to this by sending the first party of the connection a reply message to the radio bearer reconfiguration request message. The radio bearer reconfiguration request message comprises at least one radio bearer identifier and, for example, bearer quality of service of the radio bearer in question. The possible reply message comprises at least one radio bearer identifier and possibly also bearer quality of service assigned to the radio bearer in question, or a cause for a failed reconfiguration of the radio bearer in question.
