Method and apparatus for providing distinctive levels of access to resources on a high-speed wireless packet data network
First Claim
1. A method for managing system resources in a data transmission system, said method comprising the steps of:
- associating an adaptive packet inactivity timer with said data transmission system, wherein said adaptive packet inactivity timer comprises a plurality of timer parameters that employ a plurality of varying values to dynamically change a behavior thereof when associated with one or more quality of service levels assigned based on at least one customer application type or contract level, and wherein at least one of said one or more quality of service levels comprises an ANSI-41 parameter sent during a call set-up; and
linking said one or more quality of service levels to said plurality of timer parameters that define said behavior of said adaptive packet inactivity timer to manage use of said system resources in said data transmission system.

Abstract
Methods and systems for managing system resources in a data transmission system are disclosed herein. An adaptive packet inactivity timer can be associated with the data transmission system, wherein the adaptive packet inactivity timer dynamically changes a behavior thereof based on one or more customer attributes, such as, for example, of quality of service (QoS) level. The customer attribute is linked to a plurality of timer parameters that define the behavior of the adaptive packet inactivity timer for management of the data transmission system. Additionally, the customer attributes can be assigned to a customer based on a contract level associated with the customer, or based on an application type intended for use with the customer contract.
