Radio communication apparatus, network node, user node, core network, and methods implemented therein
First Claim
1. A radio communication apparatus that provides a connection with an external network through a core network and a cellular radio access network to at least one local device that is connected to the radio communication apparatus by means of a personal or local area networking technology, the radio communication apparatus comprising a controller, whereinthe controller is configured to transmit to the core network an additional bearer generation request to request an additional bearer having a QoS parameter corresponding to a first QoS policy applied to a first device in an application layer, the first device is included in the at least one local device, andthe controller is further configured to use the additional bearer, configured between the radio communication apparatus and the core network according to the additional bearer generation request, to transmit or receive data packets each including data which is originated by or destined for the first device, whereinthe controller is further configured to transmit the additional bearer generation request in response to reception of a QoS change request indicating a change of a QoS policy applied to the first device from a network node arranged in the external network or at a boundary between the external network and the core network.

Abstract
A radio communication apparatus (11) provides a connection with an external network (17) through a core network (15) and a cellular radio access network (14) to at least one local device (12) that is connected to the radio communication apparatus by means of a personal or local area networking technology. The radio communication apparatus (11) transmits to the core network (15) an additional bearer generation request to request an additional bearer having a QoS parameter corresponding to a first QoS policy applied to a first device (12) in an application layer. The radio communication apparatus (11) uses an additional bearer, configured between the radio communication apparatus (11) and the core network (15) according to the additional bearer generation request, to transmit or receive data packets each containing data which is originated by or destined for the first device (12).

17. A method implemented in a radio communication apparatus that provides a connection with an external network through a core network and a cellular radio access network to at least one local device that is connected to the radio communication apparatus by means of a personal or local area networking technology, the method comprising:
-
transmitting to the core network an additional bearer generation request to request an additional bearer having a QoS parameter corresponding to a first QoS policy applied to a first device in an application layer, the first device being included in the at least one local device; and using an additional bearer, configured between the radio communication apparatus and the core network according to the additional bearer generation request, to transmit or receive data packets each containing data which is originated by or destined for the first device, wherein the transmitting includes transmitting the additional bearer generation request in response to reception of a QoS change request indicating a change of a QoS policy applied to the first device from a network node arranged in the external network or at a boundary between the external network and the core network.

18. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program for causing a computer to perform a method implemented in a radio communication apparatus that provides a connection with an external network through a core network and a cellular radio access network to at least one local device that is connected to the radio communication apparatus by means of a personal or local area networking technology, wherein the method comprises:
-
transmitting to the core network an additional bearer generation request to request an additional bearer having a QoS parameter corresponding to a first QoS policy applied to a first device in an application layer, the first device being included in the at least one local device; and using an additional bearer, configured between the radio communication apparatus and the core network according to the additional bearer generation request, to transmit or receive data packets each containing data which is originated by or destined for the first device, wherein the transmitting includes transmitting the additional bearer generation request in response to reception of a QoS change request indicating a change of a QoS policy applied to the first device from a network node arranged in the external network or at a boundary between the external network and the core network.
