Method and system for rate control service in a network
First Claim
1. A method for controlling the transmission flow rate of data bits in a data bit transfer session from a serving entity to a client, the session involving bit transfer over a wireless communications link, the method comprising:
- setting up the session by providing a radio control node to establish flow rate parameters relating to the wireless link, wherein the setting up includes;
resolving addressing between the radio control node and the serving entity, sending rate control configuration parameters to the radio control node, generating in the radio control node an initial rate control (RC) message including initial flow rate parameters, sending at least one initial rate control message to allow the serving entity to set initial transmission rates for the session in accordance with at least one of the initial flow rate parameters;
monitoring the wireless communication link;
based on monitoring, sending new flow rate parameters so that the serving entity can update the transmission rate of the session in accordance with the new rate control parameters.

15. A method for negotiating the transmission flow rate of data bits in a data bit transfer session from a first mobile entity to a second mobile entity, the session involving bit transmission over at least one wireless communications link, the method comprising:
-
providing a first radio control node in communication with the first mobile entity for controlling the bit transmission rates of a first radio link to the first mobile entity, providing a second radio control node in communication with the second mobile entity, for controlling bit transmission rates of a second radio link to the second mobile entity, resolving addressing between the first radio control node and the second radio control node to allow communication between the first radio control node and the second radio control node, sending rate control parameters for the first link to the second radio control node, sending rate control parameters for the second link to the first radio control node, matching the rate control parameters to obtain an actual bit transmission rate, sending an indicator of the actual bit transmission rate to the first mobile entity and to the second mobile entity so that the bit transmission can occur at the bit transmission rate. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

23. A method for controlling the transcoding rate of a media gateway during a data bit transfer session from the media gateway to a client, the bit transfer session involving bit transfer over a wireless communications link, the method comprising:
-
setting up the session by providing a radio control node to establish transcoding rate parameters relating to the wireless link, wherein the setting up includes;
resolving addressing between the radio control node and the media gateway, sending rate control configuration parameters to the radio control node, generating in the radio control node an initial rate control message including initial transcoding rate parameters, sending at least one initial rate control message so that the media gateway can set initial transcoding rates for the session in accordance with at least one of the initial transcoding rate parameters;
monitoring the wireless communication link;
based on monitoring, sending new transcoding rate parameters so that the media gateway can update the transmission rate of the session in accordance with the new transcoding rate parameters. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34)
