Abstract

Priority control is performed using FPIs. A radio base station eNB according to the present invention includes: a bearer management unit 12 configured to manage FPIs assigned to data flows received from a core network device S-GW via an S1 bearer; and a priority control unit 13 configured to perform priority control over the data flows received from the core network device S-GW via the S1 bearer, in which the bearer management unit 12 establishes a radio bearer with a mobile station UE for each of the FPIs, and the priority control unit 13 transfers each data flow received from the core network device S-GW via the S1 bearer, to the radio bearer corresponding to the FPI assigned to the data flow.

Claims (9)

1. A mobile station comprising:

a processor that manages flow priorities assigned to data flows to be transmitted to a radio base station via radio bearers;

wherein:

the processor performs priority control based on priorities assigned in relation to Flow Priority Indicators (FPIs) and Quality of Service Class Identifiers (QCIs), FPI indicating a flow priority of each data flow, and QCI indicating a class of Quality of Service,

the processor performs priority control over the data flows to be transmitted to the radio base station via the radio bearers,

the processor establishes a radio bearer with the radio base station for each of the flow priorities, and

the processor transfers each data flow to the radio bearer corresponding to the flow priority assigned to the data flow; and

a transmitter that transmits the data flow to the radio base station via the corresponding radio bearer,

wherein each of the flow priorities has a respective discard timer for discarding data in the corresponding data flow if a buffering time of the data exceeds a predetermined period.
