Patent ID: 8300575

Claim:
A method for transferring a packet on a bearer in a mobile telecommunication system, wherein the system comprises: a mobile terminal; a network with one or more network nodes supporting flow of a packet to the mobile terminal (downlink) and from the mobile terminal (uplink); said method comprising the steps of: setting up one or multiple parallel bearers for bearing packets across a radio interface; associating said multiple parallel bearers with a bearer priority level of traffic handling; determining a priority level of said packet; mapping the packet to one of the multiple parallel bearers based on the priority level; and, using the bearer priority level to prioritise the access to the radio resources; wherein the step of setting up one or multiple parallel bearers consists in that the network initiates the set up of a bearer with a signal to the mobile terminal; and, wherein the mapping of a packet in the downlink direction to one of the multiple bearers is controlled by configuring a packet filter for the bearer, containing the IP address and/or port number and/or Protocol Id of the packet, in a Gateway node terminating the bearer.
