Abstract:
1. A method, in a packet switched telecommunications network having a plurality of nodes, for providing resource reservation between a reservation initiator and a reservation receiver of an ON-OFF like traffic containing ON and OFF periods, comprising the steps of: defining an object including descriptors of a desired Quality of Service (QoS), packet level traffic parameters characterizing a traffic envelope wherein said traffic envelope represents an upper bound of said ON-OFF traffic, and a sub-object of a description of source statistics for a call admission control wherein said source statistics include distribution type and parameters representing a behavior of said ON-OFF traffic wherein the parameters include a length of the ON periods and wherein the length of the ON periods is the mean time of the ON periods; initializing reservation for a flow of transmission of the ON-OFF like traffic in the reservation initiator; reserving resources in the nodes along the flow of transmission with a use of said object wherein the nodes are routers of a Terrestrial Radio Access Network of a Universal Mobile Telecommunications Network (UTRAN); receiving a reservation message in the reservation receiver; and, sending back an acknowledgement to the reservation initiator.
