Method and system for sending shorter service number in place of all but first packet, in place of longer destination address, for increasing user data content of packet data transfer
First Claim
1. A method for transferring packet data from a transmitting party over a transfer network to a receiving party based on a destination address of the receiving party, comprising:
- the transmitting party sending the destination address to the transfer network only once for each transfer transaction, at the beginning of each transfer transaction;
the transfer network allocating to the transmitting party a service number at the beginning of each transfer transaction so as to identify the transmitting party and the destination address, the service number being shorter than the destination address;
the transfer network sending the allocated service number to the transmitting party;
the transmitting party utilizing the allocated service number in place of the destination address in data packets subsequently sent during the transfer transaction; and
the transfer network identifying the data packets sent by the transmitting party on the basis of the service number and forwarding the data packets on the basis of the destination address associated with said service number.

Abstract
A transmitting party sends a transfer request to a transfer network. Upon receiving the request, the transfer network allocates a service number (SN) to the transmitting party, if allowed by the current traffic load. The service number identifies the transmitting party for a predetermined period. Upon sending the service number to the communicating party which originated the transfer request, the transfer network preferably starts a timer which monitors the validity period of the service number. The transmitting party sends the destination address (DN) over the transfer network only once during the validity period of the service number. The transfer network associates the destination address (DN) to the service number allocated to the transmitting party. The transmitting party utilizes only the service number (SN) as an identity in the data packets transferred during the actual data transfer, and the transfer network routes the packet to the destination address associated with the service number.

8. A mobile station for a cellular radio system having at least one base station in each cell thereof, the respective base station communicating with each of a plurality of mobile stations residing in the respective cell, said mobile station comprising:
-
a radio transceiver for sending user data in packet format to the respective base station; a controller for controlling said radio transceiver; first data packet(s) sent by said mobile station to the respective base station at the beginning of each transfer transaction containing an entire destination address of a receiving party while subsequent data packets sent during a same transfer transaction containing a service number in place of said entire destination address, the service number identifying a respective transmitting party and being shorter than said entire destination address. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10)
