Patent ID: 8345585

Claim:
Method for optimising allocation of resources in a mobile radio communication cellular network, said cellular network comprising at least one base station, called BTS, controlled by a base station controller, called BSC, and a connecting network connecting said BTS(s) with said BSC, wherein setting up, maintaining and terminating communications with a mobile station of said cellular network are implemented by exchanges of signalling messages, wherein said connecting network includes at least one link of a radio type with shared resources between said base station(s) and said base station controller, and wherein the method comprises the following phases: a first analysing phase of a content of all or a portion of said signalling messages, said analysing phase including: a step of searching for and detecting in said content of said signalling messages data indicating a traffic activity; a step of analysing “in band” control data that transits in a traffic channel, said step of analysing “in band” control data allowing to take into account in the allocation of the resources of other data concerning at least one of a type of coding used or a speech activity rate; a second phase of allocating or not allocating of resources within said radio link with shared resources according to said data indicating a traffic activity.
