Abstract

The embodiments herein relates to a method in a transceiver ( 110 ) for enabling traffic you prioritizing in a wireless communication system ( 100 ). The transceiver ( 110 ) is configured to transmit traffic to a first communication node ( 101, 120 ). The transceiver ( 110 ) transmits a message to the first communication node ( 101, 120 ). The message comprises an indicator indicating that the transmitted traffic tolerates a delay, enabling traffic prioritizing in the wireless communication system ( 100 ).

Claims (28)

1. A method in a transceiver for enabling machine to machine (M2M) traffic prioritizing in a wireless communication system, the transceiver being configured to transmit M2M traffic to a first communication node, the method comprising:

transmitting a message to the first communication node, the message comprising an indicator indicating that the transmitted M2M traffic tolerates a delay, wherein the message is a request to establish a connection to the wireless communication system, enabling M2M traffic prioritizing in the wireless communication system,

receiving a reply message from the first communication node in reply to said transmitted message, the reply message indicating retransmission of the transmitted message after a time period from the transmission of the transmitted message, the time period being indicated in the reply message; and

retransmitting the transmitted message to the first communication node after the time period;

wherein the transmitted M2M traffic tolerates the delay which exceeds a limit, and wherein the time period is determined in an interval starting from the limit.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the indicator is predefined in the transceiver or obtained from a third communication node.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the transceiver is a user equipment and the first communication node is an eNode B, or wherein the transceiver is a user equipment and the first communication node is a mobility management node.

4. A method in a first communication node for enabling machine to machine (M2M) traffic prioritizing in a wireless communications system, the first communication node being configured to receive M2M traffic from a transceiver, the method comprising:

receiving a message from the transceiver, the message comprising an indicator indicating that the received M2M traffic tolerates a delay, enabling traffic prioritizing in the wireless communication system, wherein the message is a request to establish a connection to the wireless communication system;

transmitting a reply message to the transceiver in reply to said transmitted message, the reply message indicating retransmission of the transmitted message after a time period from the transmission of the transmitted message, which time period being indicated in the reply message; and

receiving a retransmission of the transmitted message from the transceiver after the time period;

wherein the transmitted M2M traffic tolerates the delay which exceeds the limit, and wherein the time period is determined in an interval starting from the limit.

5. The method according to claim 4 , further comprising

transmitting the received message to a second communication node.

6. The method according to claim 4 , further comprising

dropping the received message.

7. A transceiver for enabling machine to machine (M2M) traffic prioritizing a wireless communications system, the transceiver comprising:

a transmitting unit configured to

transmit M2M traffic to a first communication node, and to

transmit a message to the first communication node, the message comprising an indicator indicating that the transmitted M2M traffic tolerates a delay, wherein the message is a request to establish a connection to the wireless communication system, enabling M2M traffic prioritizing in the wireless communication system;

a receiving unit configured to receive a reply message from the first communication node in reply to said transmitted message, the reply message indicating retransmission of the transmitted message after a time period from the transmission of the transmitted message, which time period being indicated in the reply message; and

wherein the transmitting unit is further configured to retransmit the transmitted message to the first communication node after the time period;

wherein the transmitted M2M traffic tolerates the delay which exceeds the limit, and wherein the time period is determined in an interval starting from the limit.

8. A first communication node for enabling machine to machine (M2M) traffic prioritizing in a wireless communication system, the first communication node is configured to receive M2M traffic from a transceiver, the first communication node comprising:

a receiving unit configured to receive a message from the transceiver, themessage comprising an indicator indicating that the received M2M traffic tolerates a delay, wherein the message is a request to establish a connection to the wireless communication system, enabling M2M traffic prioritizing in the wireless communication system,

a transmitting unit configured to transmit a reply message to the transceiver in reply to said transmitted message, the reply message indicating retransmission of the transmitted message after a time period from the transmission of the transmitted message, which time period being indicated in the reply message; and

wherein the receiving unit is further configured to receive a retransmission of the transmitted message from the transceiver after the time period;

wherein the transmitted M2M traffic tolerates the delay which exceeds the limit, and wherein the time period is determined in an interval starting from the limit.
