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 dynamically changes a behavior thereof based on at least one customer attribute; and
linking said at least one customer attribute to a plurality of timer parameters that define said behavior of said adaptive packet inactivity timer for management of 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.

11. 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 dynamically changes a behavior thereof based on at least quality of service level;
linking said at least quality of service level to a plurality of timer parameters that define said behavior of said adaptive packet inactivity timer for management of said data transmission system;
instantiating said adaptive packet inactivity timer according to a plurality of varying parameters; and
automatically changing said behavior of said adaptive packet inactivity timer, in response to instantiating said adaptive packet inactivity timer according to said plurality of varying parameters.
