First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for setting a resource control profile in a radio resource control (RRC) layer for a user equipment (UE) comprising:
- controlling a radio resource allocation and state-transitions for the UE using the resource control profile, the resource control profile defining resource and inactivity thresholds for transitioning from one to another of a predetermined number of states;
receiving a parameter specified by the UE indicative of an application or subscription for which an RRC connection is to be established;
associating the parameter with a radio resource allocation profile or a state-transition profile;
setting the resource control profile for the RRC layer with the radio resource allocation profile or the state transition profile associated with the parameter to customize the resource control profile wherein at least one of said thresholds for transitioning from one to another of the predetermined number of states is changed; and
controlling the UE with the customized resource control profile.

Abstract
A method for creating a radio resource control profile for a radio resource allocation or a state-transition profile having the steps of receiving a parameter associated with a user equipment (UE), associating the parameter with the radio resource control profile for the radio resource allocation or the state-transition profile and initiating the radio resource allocation or state transition profile for the UE.

16. A UTRAN in a UMTS network, the UTRAN comprising:
-
a resource control profile for a radio resource control (RRC) layer for controlling radio resource allocation and state transitions for a user equipment (UE), the resource control profile defining resource and inactivity thresholds for transitioning from one to another of a predetermined number of states; means for receiving a parameter specified by the UE; means for associating the parameter with a radio resource allocation profile or a state-transition profile; means for setting the resource control profile for the RRC layer with the radio resource allocation profile or the state-transition profile associated with the parameter to customized the resource control profile wherein at least one of said thresholds for transitioninq from one to another of the predetermined number of states is changed; and means for controlling the UE with the customized resource control profile. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)

27. A user equipment (UE) adapted to facilitate setting a resource control profile in a radio resource control (RRC) layer for controlling radio resource allocation and state-transitions for the UE, the UE characterized by:
-
the resource control profile defining resource and inactivity thresholds for transitioninq from one to another of a predetermined number of states means for setting a dynamic parameter specified by the UE indicative of an application or subscription for which an RRC connection is to be established; and a transmitter for transmitting the dynamic parameter, wherein the dynamic parameter is used by a network node to set the resource control profile for the RRC layer with a radio resource allocation profile or a state transition profile associated with the parameter to customized the resource control profile wherein at least one of said thresholds for transitioninq from one to another of the predetermined number of states is changed and the customized resource control profile is used for the UE. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34)
