Abstract

See full text

A packet transmission method and apparatus for transmitting data packets via a telecommunication network are described, wherein the quality of a received data packet is judged and the data packet is tagged in response to the result of the quality judgment. The tagging is performed by adding a dropping information, wherein a tagged cell is dropped on the basis of the dropping information and a predetermined dropping condition such as a transmission congestion situation and/or an overuse of a contract of a particular connection. In the uplink direction, the quality judgment can be based on an error check or a comparison of a quality base likelihood parameter with a threshold value. In the downlink direction, the quality judgment can be performed on the basis of an uplink quality parameter and/or a downlink power control status. Accordingly, in case of a congestion and/or an overuse of a particular connection, low quality transmission packets are dropped first to thereby reduce traffic.
