System and Method for Adapting an Application Source Rate to a Load Condition
First Claim
1. A method for forming a connection, the method comprising:
- receiving a service authorization request for service between a first device and a second device, wherein the service authorization request comprises a request to establish a connection at a first data rate;
requesting a formation of a first bearer at the first data rate between the first device and the second device;
determining if the first bearer was formed;
transmitting a first positive response if the first bearer was formed;
forming a second bearer at a second data rate between the first device and the second device if the first bearer was not formed, wherein the second data rate is different from the first data rate; and
completing the connection.

Abstract
A system and method for adapting an application source rate to a load condition are provided. A method for forming a connection includes receiving a service authorization request for service between the first device and the second device, requesting a formation of a first bearer at a first data rate between the first device and the second device, and determining if the first bearer was formed. The method also includes transmitting a first positive response if the first bearer was formed, forming a second bearer at a second data rate if the first bearer was not formed, and completing the connection. The service authorization request includes a request to establish a connection at the first data rate, and the second data rate is different from the first data rate.

15. A method for communications device operations, the method comprising:
-
receiving congestion information related to a communications controller serving a communications device; processing the received congestion information; requesting a formation of a connection in response to determining that the communications device is to participate in the connection, wherein the connection has a data rate based on the accumulated congestion information; and adjusting an active data rate of an active connection to an adjusted data rate in response to determining that the communications device is participating in the active connection, wherein the active data rate is adjusted based on the accumulated congestion information. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
