Abstract
A radio access bearer in a mobile communication system is controlled by disposing a radio resource control layer having radio access bearers in a user side, disposing a radio link control layer, a media access control layer, and a physical layer in the user side beneath the radio resource control layer in succession, measuring a traffic volume of the media access control layer and radio link control layer in the user side by using the media access control layer in the user side to produce traffic volume measurements, comparing the traffic volume measurements to at least one of an upper critical value and a lower critical value provided to the media access control layer in the user side from a radio resource control layer in a network side of the communication system through the radio resource control layer in the user side of the system, and forwarding a comparison result and the traffic volume measurements to the radio resource control layer in the network side through the radio resource control layer in the user side, and controlling the radio access bearer in the user side through the radio resource control layer in the network side according to a result of the comparison.

18. A method for controlling radio bearers in a mobile communication device having a radio resource control layer, a radio link control layer, a medium access control layer, and a physical layer beneath the radio resource control layer in succession, comprising:
-
measuring traffic volume between the radio link control layer and the medium access control layer; comparing the measured traffic volume to at least one reference value, that at least one reference value including at least one of an upper critical value and a lower critical value; reporting traffic volume information associated with the measured traffic volume for each radio bearer to the radio resource layer, if a condition is satisfied between the measured traffic volume and the at least one reference value; and controlling the radio bearers by the radio resource control layer according to the traffic volume information. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 39, 42)

36. A method for controlling radio bearers in a mobile communication device having a radio resource control layer, a radio link control layer, a medium access control layer, and a physical layer beneath the radio resource control layer in succession, comprising:
-
transferring a measurement control message to the medium access control layer, the measurement control message including a measurement report mode, wherein the measurement report mode is at least one of an event trigger mode and a periodic mode; receiving traffic volume information from the medium access control layer according to the measurement report mode, the traffic volume information being associated with traffic volume between the radio link control layer and the medium access control layer; and controlling the radio bearers according to the traffic volume information. - View Dependent Claims (37, 38, 40, 41, 43)
