SERVIDOR DE CONTROLE, MÉTODO PARA GARANTIR EM UMA CAMADA PORTADORA AQUELAS EXIGÊNCIAS DE SERVIÇO NEGOCIADAS PARA UM SERVIÇO ATRAVÉS DE UMA CAMADA DE SINALIZAÇÃO, E, PROGRAMA DE COMPUTADOR

In scenarios where service requirements are negotiated through a signalling layer whereas the services are carried out through a bearer layer, control rules are created at a control server logically interposed between the signalling and bearer layers. These control rules are based on service requirements received from an entity in the signalling layer, and are installed in an entity in the bearer layer For a bearer established therein. However, not all the service requirements negotiated through the signalling layer can be supported at the bearer layer by any user's equipment. The invention provides for a method and devices whereby the control server can create control rules based on the service requirements received from the signalling layer and also based on capabilities of the user's equipment currently used by the user, and whereby the control rules are installed for a currently established bearer or for a new subsequent bearer further established, depending on these control rules.
