Abstract
Abstract In order to transmit data packets for a packet data service in a cellular mobile radio network, in each case one channel (TCH) in the radio transmission system (BSS) of the mobile radio network is reserved and linked to a transmission channel (NUC), which leads to a separate service network node (GSN), to form a continuous data channel. Data packets and signalling information are transmitted jointly via the data channel in a single data protocol between the mobile subscriber station (MS) and the service network node (GSN). In this way, signalling information and data packets are transmitted in only one protocol, to be precise the data protocol. By using only the data protocol for the joint transmission of the data packets and signalling information, there is a reduction in the signalling load and the channel seizure duration in the mobile radio network in comparison with the solution with two separate protocols for signalling and data.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
109 words
A method for transmitting data packets according to a packet data service in a cellular mobile radio network which is provided for voice and data transmission comprising the steps of: setting up a channel for transmitting at least one data packet from or to a mobile subscriber station in the radio transmission system of the mobile radio network linking the channel to a transmission channel, which leads to a separate service network node, to form a data channel; and jointly transmitting the at least one data packet and signalling information via the data channel in one data protocol between the mobile subscriber station and the separate service network node.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
109 words
A method for transmitting data packets according to a packet data service in a cellular mobile radio network which is provided for voice and data transmission comprising the steps of: setting up a channel for transmitting at least one data packet from or to a mobile subscriber station in the radio transmission system of the mobile radio network linking the channel to a transmission channel, which leads to a separate service network node, to form a data channel; and jointly transmitting the at least one data packet and signalling information via the data channel in one data protocol between the mobile subscriber station and the separate service network node.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
24 words
The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least one of subscriber-specific and network-related signalling information is transmitted in the data protocol.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
25 words
The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein one of authentification, identification, localization, encryption or data service information is transmitted in the data protocol.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
24 words
The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein firstly the signalling information and then the data packets are transmitted in the data protocol.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
38 words
The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the separate service network node is provided in a mobile switching center or in addition to a mobile switching center of a switching system in the mobile radio network.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
26 words
The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the separate service network node is located in the radio transmission system of the mobile radio network.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
34 words
The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the separate service network node checks access authorization of a mobile radio subscriber during one of before reception or after reception of the data packets.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
37 words
The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the data packets and signalling information are transmitted in the data protocol from the mobile subscriber station to the separate service network node via the continuous data channel.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
33 words
The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the data packets and signalling information are transmitted from the mobile subscriber station to the separate service network node via the continuous data channel.
