Abstract:
1. A method for optimizing the usage of radio resources in a cellular radio communication network using a communication protocol with a plurality of communication protocol layers, each layer supporting a certain control plane procedure, the method comprising: analyzing information received from reading higher level control plane protocol layer packets transported, before or during performance of lower level control plane protocol layer procedures, wherein the reading starts at a start of a certain session of a higher level control plane protocol layer procedure, and/or end at an end of a certain session of a higher level control plane protocol layer procedure, or starts when a certain active session of a higher level control plane protocol layer is being modified, or starting only if the radio access network is ordered by the Operation and Maintenance Subsystem; and optimizing the lower level control plane protocol layer procedures by using the analyzed higher level control plane information received.
