Service Link Establishment

Abstract: A method of establishing a plurality of service links between user equipment and a network access node in a wireless telecommunications network and user equipment and a computer program product operable to perform that method. The method comprises: determining that there is data traffic to be sent between user equipment and the network access node; establishing a first service link for communication of the data traffic; determining that there is further data traffic requiring establishment of a second service link to be sent between the user equipment and the network access node; determining a pre set radio condition parameter indicative of radio condition required for successful communication of the further data traffic on the second service link between said user equipment and the network access node; assessing radio condition experienced at the user equipment and if said radio condition parameter is being met establishing a second service link for communication of the further data traffic. Such a method allows user equipment to determine whether a second service link is likely to be successfully established thereby offering an opportunity to minimise unnecessary network signalling and the likelihood that a second service link will pull down the first service link.
