Method for operating a mobile wireless network
First Claim
1. A method for establishing a protocol entity in a convergence protocol layer of a first wireless station, comprising:
- receiving a radio bearer setup message from a second wireless station, wherein the radio bearer setup message includes an identifier for a compression algorithm, a compression parameter, and a protocol entity ID;
in response to receiving the radio bearer setup message, configuring the protocol entity having the protocol entity ID in the convergence protocol layer of the first wireless station according to the following;
configuring the protocol entity to include the compression algorithm configured to use the compression parameter and to communicate with at least one packet data protocol context in a network layer, wherein the protocol entity ID identifies the protocol entity from any other protocol entity that may be configured in the convergence protocol layer, andproviding a radio bearer to allow communication between the protocol entity and an entity in an RLC (radio link control) layer, wherein there is a one to one relationship between the protocol entity and the radio bearer; and
transmitting a radio bearer setup complete message confirming the establishment of the protocol entity to the second wireless station, wherein the radio bearer setup complete message includes the protocol entity ID.

Abstract
A method of operating a mobile wireless network is described to ensure proper function of protocol entities during the transmission of data units between two wireless stations of the mobile wireless network. In this case, user data is assembled by a first convergence protocol layer of the first wireless station into at least one first data unit, particularly a packet data unit, before transmission to a second convergence protocol layer of a second wireless station, particularly on the same protocol level, with the user data being supplied to the first convergence protocol layer by at least one user in a network layer. At least one protocol entity of the first convergence protocol layer is configured as a function of a configuration request received by the second wireless station, in order to form the at least one first data unit from the data received from the at least one user and to transmit it through a carrier to a link control layer.
