METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DYNAMIC RADIO RESOURCE CONTROLLING
First Claim
1. A mobile terminal comprising:
- a transceiver configured to receive a plurality of data units originating from a network element, wherein at least one data unit of the plurality of data units includes a status bit indicating that flow control in the network element used to transmit the at least one data unit is active or inactive; and
a data processing unit configured toanalyze the status bit; and
determine whether to request a change in a data rate at which the transceiver receives the plurality of data units based at least in part on the analysis of the status bit.

Abstract
A method and a mobile terminal for communicating with a mobile network element (IWF) comprising communicating with a mobile network element (IWF) using a bearer that is modifiable by a negotiation between the mobile terminal (MS) and the mobile network element (IWF). The data is divided into data units (60) that comprise at least one user data element (61) and at least one status data element (62), said status data element (62) optionally comprising a status indication (63) from the mobile network element (IWF) to the mobile terminal (MS). A need for bearer modification is detected from received status indications (63) in at least two consecutive data units; and a negotiation for bearer modification is initiated, as a response to the detected need for bearer modification.

17. A network element for using in controlling a rate of data exchange, the network element comprising:
-
a transceiver configured to provide a plurality of data units to a mobile station, wherein at least one data unit of the plurality of data units includes a status bit indicating that flow control used to provide the at least one data unit is active or inactive; and receive a request for a change in a data rate at which the plurality of data units are provided from the mobile station, wherein the request based at least in part on an analysis of the status bit by the mobile station; and a data processing unit configured to change the data rate based on the received request. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
