Title: Improvements in and relating to unattended data
Inventor: HIMKE VAN DER VELDE
IPC: H04W72/12
Filed: 2016-05-13
Abstract: A method of handling the transmission of Unattended Data Traffic, UDT, in a mobile telecommunications network 202. UDT is data transmitted by User Equipment, UE, without direct user interaction such as background data. UDT needs to be controlled when the network is congested to ensure data traffic can flow. The network 202 broadcasts information indicating the barring state of UDT. When barred the UE 102 prevents UDT transfer, then when UDT is permitted once again the UE 102 starts a timer with a random value to ensure controlled resumption of UDT, preventing congestion of network 202. Following expiry of the timer, UE 102 resumes UDT transmission. If the timer is still running and a further message is received indicating barring of UDT then the timer is stopped. The information may be transmitted in a System Information Block which may be SIB2. The random value may lie between zero and a maximum set by the network 202.
