RCR Partner Chartwell Seeks Equity Sale: Richard Childress Racing Enterprises, a premier sports enterprise focused primarily on NASCAR race teams, has advised its employees, drivers and key sponsors that RCR's minority partner, Chartwell Investments and RCR have hired Houlihan Lokey to assist in exploring strategic alternatives for the sale of its equity position in the company. Houlihan Lokey is serving as financial advisor to RCR. Questions regarding the process should be directed to Lee Ann Gliha (RCR).(2-26-2015)
Baldwin may not run #36 full-time UPDATE: Tommy Baldwin Racing may not field its familiar #36 Sprint Cup Chevrolet on a full-time basis in 2015, focusing instead on the team's #7 Chevy while forging a new partnership with Jay Robinson Racing to keep the #36 entry on track. Multiple sources tell GodfatherMotorsports.com that negotiations are underway to campaign the #36 under the Jay Robinson Racing banner in 2015, with TBR handling fabrication and preparation for the four restrictor plate races at Daytona International Speedway and Talladega Superspeedway. That move, if finalized, will result in the layoff of approximately eight TBR employees, all of whom have been invited to apply for positions at JRR's facility on Rolling Hill Road in Mooresville, NC. Baldwin reportedly informed team personnel of the move Monday, saying the deal will be finalized later this week. Baldwin stressed today that he has no plans to sell TBR, and is speaking with a number of parties in an effort to improve the performance of the #36 team. Baldwin has made a total of 321 career Sprint Cup Series starts since becoming a team owner in 2009, with a best finish of third at Talladega in 2011 with driver Dave Blaney. Michael Annett ran the full, 36-race schedule in Baldwin's #7 Pilot/Flying J Chevy last season, finishing 32nd in championship points. He is expected to return in 2015. Reed Sorenson drove the #36 Chevy to 34th in the final standings.(Godfather Motorsports)(1-6-2015)
UPDATE: Catchfence.com reports that Jay Robinson Racing will have a "partnership" with Tommy Baldwin Racing and is expected to inherit the #36 owner points from 2014 to be transferred to the #62 for the season, including the Daytona 500. A spokesperson for Jay Robinson Racing (Premium Motorsports) would not comment on the situation but said the team would make announcements in the "next couple weeks" (also running the #66 Toyota for Mike Wallace at Daytona). Confirmed Thursday night by a Richard Childress Racing spokesperson, Richard "Slugger" Labbe, who stepped down as crew chief for Paul Menard following the Charlotte race last October, to take a leadership role in research and development, will lead Scott during Speedweeks 2015. Scott finishing 25th in the #33 Whitetail Club Chevy SS for Circle Sport Racing in last years Daytona 500. Circle Sport, which carries an affiliation with RCR will field an entry for Ty Dillon for the February 22 race. Shore Lodge, a longtime backer of Scott's NASCAR career is expected to sponsor him at Daytona. Scott's pole at Talladega in May 2014 earned him an a spot in the Sprint Unlimited, but sources confirmed that Scott is not scheduled to compete in the non-points event.(Catchfence)(2-6-2015)
RCR names Daytona 500 crew chiefs for Ty Dillon and Brian Scott: Richard Childress Racing confirmed that two veteran, Daytona 500-winning crew chiefs will oversee the teams for Ty Dillon's and Brian Scott's runs in the Great American Race on Feb. 22. Todd Parrott, who won the 500 with Dale Jarrett in 1996 and 2000, will serve as crew chief the #33 Chevy with Dillon. Parrott also won the July race at Daytona with Jarrett at Robert Yates Racing in 1999 - the season the #88 team won the Sprint Cup title. In 20 seasons, Parrott led teams to 31 wins, 144 top fives, 230 top 10s and 23 pole positions. Parrott joined RCR at the end of last season to run its Xfinity Series program.
Slugger Labbe will oversee Scott's effort in the #62 Chevy [earlier reports had Scott running the #29]. Labbe led Michael Waltrip to his 2003 Daytona 500 victory - six months after the pair won the July race. It was the first Harley J. Earl trophy for Labbe and the second for Waltrip. Together the pair won three restrictor plate races. Labbe guided Paul Menard to his first career victory three seasons ago at the Brickyard. Labbe stepped down as crew chief for the #27 Menard's team in October to oversee RCR's R&D dept.(Motorsport)(2-6-2015)
RCR Names Ahnna Parkhurst and Kate Dallenbach to Driver Development Program: Richard Childress Racing and Team Dillon Racing have named Kate Dallenbach as one of two female drivers in their development program for the 2015 season. Dallenbach, 17, is the daughter of Wally, Jr., NASCAR driver-turned-broadcaster, and Robin Dallenbach, a former driver herself with two starts in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. Her grandfather, Wally Dallenbach, Sr., was a successful Indy car driver and Chief Steward. The student of Davidson Day High School will compete in dirt and asphalt races under the RCR banner driving cars built and maintained by Team Dillon Racing. Richard Childress Racing and Team Dillon Racing have named Ahnna Parkhurst as the other one of two female drivers in their development program for the 2015 season. Parkhurst, 14, is an Augusta, Ga. native and is entering her second season of competitive racing. The student at Riverside Middle School will compete in dirt Crate Late Models under the RCR banner driving cars built and maintained by Team Dillon Racing this year.(RCR)(1-29-2015)
RCR to field #29 for Scott in Daytona 500: Richard Childress Racing (RCR) will field the #29 Chevy in the Daytona 500 for RCR XFNITY Series driver Brian Scott, who will attempt his second Daytona 500. The #29 will return to Sprint Cup Series competition for the first time since 2013 at Homestead, where reigning Cup champion Kevin Harvick wheeled a 10th place finish in final start for RCR. Richard "Slugger" Labbe, who stepped down as crew chief for Paul Menard following the Charlotte race last October to take a leadership role in research and development is the leading candidate to lead Scott during Speedweeks 2015. Scott competed in last season's Daytona 500, qualifying a strong 12th, before finishing 25th in the #33 Whitetail Club Chevy for Circle Sport Racing. Circle Sport, which carries an affiliation with RCR will field an entry for Ty Dillon at Daytona [#33 Cheerios/Kroger Chevy]. Shore Lodge, a longtime backer of Scott's NASCAR career is expected to sponsor him in his eighth Sprint Cup Series race. Scott's pole at Talladega earned him an a spot in next month's Sprint Unlimited, but Scott is not scheduled to compete in the non-points event, which opens the door for RCR teammate #27 Paul Menard to take his place, based on the new Sprint Unlimited guidelines unveiled by NASCAR last month. Scott's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series program has not been outlined, but he is expected to run a limited schedule with hopes of a full-time campaign in 2016.(Catchfence)(1-19-2015)
Brian Scott expects to run some Cup races: Brian Scott hopes to once again compete in several Sprint Cup events in '15 (he made six starts in '14), a bit of extracurricular activity that he said he believes to be very beneficial. "When you get in (an XFINITY Series) car after you've just got out of a Cup car where you've been going 200 (mph) at the end of the straightaways and ... you're going 180, it feels like everything slows down," he said. "It really feels like you're able to utilize your talents ... more effectively.(NASCAR.com), Scott ran 6 races in the #33 last season. He won the pole at Talladega in May.(1-10-2015)
RCR Sues former employee: Richard Childress Racing failed to prove that an engineer who became another team's crew chief stole trade secrets, the North Carolina Business Court ruled. Matthew McCall started working for RCR as a race engineer on the Camping World Truck Series team in 2010. Two years later, RCR promoted him to similar position working on the #31 Chevy in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. McCall's contract included provisions that, if he resigned, he could not work for a competitor in a similar capacity for 12 months. During the 2014 season, McCall said several times that he would like to work as a crew chief for a Sprint Cup team. When RCR offered McCall a crew-chief spot on the Nationwide Series, NASCAR's second-ranked circuit, he resigned at the end of the 2014 Sprint Cup season. Two days later, Chip Ganassi Racing hired McCall as the crew chief for Jamie McMurray's #1 Chevy on the Sprint Cup circuit.
RCR sued McCall in Davidson County, N.C., in November for breach of contract and misappropriation of trade secrets. It moved on Dec. 3 for a temporary restraining order to keep McCall from working for Ganassi or another competitor. As quoted in the Dec. 19 ruling, RCR argued that the positions were similar because McCall "routinely performed the tasks of the crew chief (and complained about doing so)," and filled in for the crew chief when he was unavailable. (Parentheses in original.) The team also noted that McCall officially served as the crew chief during the 2013 Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. McCall responded that he filled in as crew chief during for just one practice session and one testing session. During the Brickyard 400, the regular crew chief was suffering from an eye injury but made the critical decisions from a trailer, where he was watching the race, McCall added. The North Carolina Business Court denied RCR's request for a restraining order. "Plaintiff has not shown, at this time, a likelihood of success on its claim that by accepting a crew chief position with Ganassi, Defendant has become employed in a 'capacity identical or similar to that in which he participated while employed by (plaintiff) and therefore as breached the employment contract," Judge Louis Bledsoe III wrote. RCR also did not prove that McCall had or would disclose its trade secrets, the court found.(Court House News)(1-1-2015)

I have been working at Rent-A-Center full-time (more than 5 years)
Great place to work, in 5 years i worked my way from account manager to a Store Manager. I came from a very prestigious store.
Very hard work to life ballance. Working from 8am to 7 or 8pm 5 days a week. Saturdays is suppose to be your early day, but that depends on how your numbers are.
Stick more to improving the life or our co workers and our customers. Not what did you do for me today.

I worked at Rent-A-Center full-time (more than 3 years)Pros
RAC gives people the opportunity who either have no credit or bad credit an option to pay weekly, biweekly, or monthly for mdse. They have a wide selection of mdse including top of the line cpus, tvs, lvrm, bdrm, and mattresses.
For me, I worked in the best store in the district I was located in. Unlike credit card companies, rac does not work with credit but instead works one on one with customers. This is good because you get to know your customers and their families very well. The people and the quality of new mdse are pros of working there. The option of buying mdse at 15% above cost is a major perk of working there.
RAC provided me with brand new furniture, a tv, a cpu, a table, and a new washer and dryer. They also helped me rent an apt, and buy a car. If I didnt have that job, I wouldnt have any of that.Cons
RAC is a "what have you done for me lately" kind of work place. It doesnt matter what you did last year, last month, last week, or even yesterday. They care about what you are doing today to control your deliveries, SMRR, and collections. Some of the stores did illegal activities to control their collections but mine did not. We did things mostly by the book.
Another con of the job is the mdse you pick up from people. Id say 5% of the customers have roaches or bed bugs. Roaches are a common site in the truck and I used hundreds of roach bombs to kill them. Although my boss was hard on me and my other coworkers, I have a lot of respect for him. He is not one to throw you under the bus like other people in the co would.Advice to ManagementAdvice
In my opinion, they need to focus more on what their "mission statement" which in my opinion is a joke. RAC doesnt care about the quality of life for their customers. They co cares more about hitting collection and sales #s than their actual customers. I loved my coworkers and customers but I speak the truth. Anyone who worked there for any length of time would be able to tell you that.RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEO

there are no pros to this jobCons
Don't have family time, working late till 8 pm or sometimes later. Requesting time off for the week end is not going to happen. This is a retail environment treat it as so. Management has their favorites and the rest are nothing. Sometimes the few or one does the assistants jobs along with their own. You are required to get things done in the field and get sales all the time just so the assistants or the manager can meet their quota for sales and they will take the sales even if you get the customer to comtreated like e in. The management mid and especially the upper management has their favs and the rest are nothing and slave labor. Management is always pushing for sales and telemarketing for all store employees but if you're out if the field and can't get to it you are in trouble.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Treat your employees including the CARs as human and not numbers. Everyone at the store level have families and need to be treated as so. The new core values are a joke they are not worth the paper their are written on. When an employee is let go make sure that they know their insurance ends the same month instead of being told they have another full month that they paid for. Also give them a letter explaining about their medical, dental, vision plans instead of having someone from benefits program say they should have seen that info on the racinet site.Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEO

I and two guys I worked with were putting new recycling barrels in a dormitory. We were waiting for the elevator and when it opened it had 5 or 6 guys in it. My co-worker said we'd take the next one. One of the guys said "You two (referring to my male coworkers) can't fit, but I'm sure we can squeeze blondie in here with us."
I ignored them as I waited for what felt like forever for the doors to close and them to go away while they smiled and made comments. We went back downstairs to get more bins and they were all hanging out outside the building, calling "Hey blondie! Whatcha doing? Why are you working so hard? Leave the work to the guys and come hang out with us!" I ignored them. This repeated the next two times we came down for more bins, until my coworker finally told them to fuck off.
And they did, until an hour or so later when I was walking off campus to my apartment a few blocks away and the same group of guys were walking around smoking pot. They continued to catcall me and follow me home. I told them to kindly fuck off, and they laughed and said "Ooh blondie is all fired up! I like it!" I texted my roommates as I walked and luckily one was home and came outside our apartment to walk me in and once again tell these guys to fuck off.
It felt like shit to have to rely on a male friend both times to make these guys go away. I felt annoyed that I couldn't just do my job and walk home without being bothered. It was in broad daylight and in public so I didn't necessarily feel unsafe, just uncomfortable and annoyed.

In 2013, Hall has been involved in controversial University of Texas investigations. Following his appointment as a regent in 2011, Hall began examining political favoritism and forgivable loans programs at the University of Texas. Following a large number of FOIA requests, state legislators initiated an investigation into possibly impeaching Hall.[2][3][4] The impeachment process has been criticized by Governor of Texas Rick Perry, with some calling the process an effort to criminalize policy differences.[5][6]
The current investigation is being conducted by the Select Committee on Transparency in State Agency Operations committee. The most that the select committee can do would be to recommend to the full state house that articles of impeachment be drafted. If that is the case, then the state house must follow procedures outlined regarding calling a special session specifically for the process of impeachment.[7]
Hall graduated from the University of Texas, Austin in 1984 with a Bachelor's in Economics. He si the founder and President of Wetland Partners, LP, which operates the Trinity River Mitigation Bank, a wetlands bank created to mitigate USACE approved environmental impacts to the aquatic system as per the Clean Water Act.[8] In August 2009, Hall was appointed by Governor Perry to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board.[9]
Clout investigations
After he was appointed in 2011, Hall began looking into what he believed to be clout scandals within the University of Texas system. According to Hall, the investigations turned up three major findings.[10]
- Forgivable loans programs
- Improper methods of reporting donations
- Legislative influence over admissions processes
Hall investigated the university's forgivable-loans program and admissions policies and preferential treatment to politically-connected individuals.[11] Hall, as an individual citizen, filed a large number of FOIA requests with the University system after his inquiries via his role as a Regent were rebuffed.[12] Hall filed requests of more than 800,000 pages, which some Texas administrators called an unnecessary burden.[13][14]
In March 2013, the Board of Regents voted to re-open the forgivable loans investigation. This action was approved by regents Hall, Brenda Pejovich, Paul Foster and Alex Cranberg. Some legislators including Judith Zaffirini (D), Trey Fischer (D) and Kevin Eltife (R) criticized the action as a waste of taxpayer funds. In one specific email exchange among the FOIA'd documents, University of Texas Budget Director Mary Knight emailed President Powers in June 2009 about salaries of UT officials. The email specifically mentioned Larry Sager, with Knight writing: "note: Sager was included due to his $100K per year deferred compensation over 5 years." The email refers to the $500,000 forgivable loan that Sager received which eventually contributed to his forced resignation. While Powers maintained that he had been unaware of the loan until the official UT report was conducted, some regents believe that the email from Knight in 2009 proves otherwise.[15][16]
On August 5, 2013, Kevin Hegarty, chief financial officer for the University of Texas-Austin, announced that the records requests from Hall would be cancelled immediately.[17] In August 2013, Chancellor Francisco Cigarroa recommended a "targeted compliance review" of how officials at the University of Texas, Austin were handling public record requests. In August 2013, the University of Texas System Board of Regents approved two measures to reform problems that Hall had discovered in his investigations. The regents voted to enact a new policy regarding the relationship between universities and foundations. Additionally, the regents approved an audit into how officials respond to public information requests.[18]
Impeachment proceedings
- See also: Wallace Hall impeachment trial
An effort was begun in June 2013 to try and impeach Hall from his position as Regent. Some legislators are justifying the impeachment under the grounds that Hall did not disclose several lawsuits that he was involved in when he originally completed his Regent background check. Hall updated Governor Rick Perry's office in April 2013 with the full list.[19][20] No unelected official has ever been successfully impeached or removed from office.[21] Governor of Texas Rick Perry's spokesperson said the investigations send a "chilling message" to gubernatorial appointees.[22]
In 2013, the Joint Committee on Oversight of Higher Ed Governance, Excellence & Transparency inquired into the possibility of an impeachment. In an April 2013 interview with Texas Monthly, Hall said that there was little outreach from state officials about the process prior to the impeachment proceedings. "[Committee co-chairman] Dan Branch has been a friend of mine for many years. He's never asked me a question about this situation, and the next thing I know he's asking his staff to investigate the rules for impeachment. I'm mystified by that, frankly," Hall said.[23]
On June 24, 2013, State House representative Jim Pitts (R) filed a resolution to advance along impeachment proceedings of Hall by the select committee.[24] However, Joe Straus, House Speaker, issued a proclamation that expanded the committee's jurisdiction to allow it to propose articles of impeachment against executive appointees.
The committee hired Rusty Hardin to serve as legal counsel for the committee. Hardin, a well-known Houston attorney, represented former Major League Baseball player Roger Clemens in his steroid trials.[25][26]
In July 2013, University of Texas Chancellor Francisco Cigarroa and Regent Eugene Powell responded to the ongoing investigation and negative remarks against Hall from some elected officials and University of Texas staff. Cigarroa said Hall was not allowed to access anything that was not reviewed by University lawyers to ensure they met federal privacy standards. In a July 15, 2013 letter to state representative Jim Pitts, Powell wrote: "Regent Hall's efforts extend to bringing the U.T. System into a competitive position nationally; especially related to offering blended and online learning opportunities to U.T. students. I would point out Regent Hall's excellent service to the Board in terms of time and energy. I appreciate his Board service and his dedication and hard work designed to fulfill his fiduciary obligations.[27][28]
In a letter dated August 15, 2013, Hall responded to the committee via his lawyer. The letter expanded upon the reasons for Hall's investigation.[29] According to the letter, Hall found that "allegations of political influence in the admissions process appear in some instances to be true."[30]
|"Regent Hall found correspondence on behalf of a [state] Representative inquiring about the admission of the Member's adult son or daughter to a UT Austin graduate school. Although the dean had previously stated the applicant did not meet the school's standards and would need to either retake the graduate admission exam or attend another graduate school first, upon information and belief, the son or daughter was in fact admitted without retaking the test or attending another school. Regent Hall found other correspondence in which a [state] Senator sought special consideration for an applicant who had been rejected, but was strongly supported by another Senator. In the communication, the Senator seeking special treatment reminded the UT Austin official of recent legislative action taken to benefit The University. Upon information and belief, the rejected applicant was subsequently admitted to UT Austin."[30][31]
During a September 2013 panel conversation with state senator Kirk Watson, Hall defended his investigations and criticized the impeachment proceedings. "Impeachment is used to protect the public, not to punish an individual. Do you think I'm protecting the public, or do you think the politicians that are coming after me are protecting the public?"[32]
Pitts acknowledged that he routinely writes letters to Bill Powers, President of the University of Texas, on behalf of select student applications. Specifically, he wrote a letter on behalf of his son after the University of Texas law school had initially rejected his admittance. "The letter I wrote for my son was pretty much a form letter," Pitts said in an October meeting of the Transparency in State Agency Operations Committee. These letters were sent to both the law school dean and the university president.[33][34][35]
For Hall to be impeached, the State Legislature would have to be called into a special session because the legislature meets in the spring of odd-numbered years.
Richard Legon, president of the Association of Governing Boards of Universities and Colleges, criticized the impeachment process in a November interview with the Austin American Statesman. He called the impeachment process the "nuclear option" and said it could send a chilling signal to other members of higher education boards. Legon suggested that the board should have first been given the opportunity to address Hall's requests. "It's fine for a board member to seek information through the appropriate path. The first layer of reining in an overly aggressive board member should be the board," he said.[36]
At a meeting on November 12, 2013, the committee issued subpoenas for Dan Sharphorn, University of Texas Vice Chancellor and General Counsel; Francie Frederick, General Counsel to the University of Texas System Board of Regents; Barbara Holthaus, System Senior Attorney; and Hall, who was expected to testify at the December 10, 2013 meeting.[37][38]
However, only hours after initially filing the subpoena for Hall, committee members suddenly recalled it. Carol Alvarado said the members acted too quickly without checking their schedule. The subpoena was issued for December 10, but no meeting is scheduled until December 18.[39]
Football coach controversy
The issue surrounding head football coach Mack Brown has divided members of the University of Texas, Austin community. In January 2013, Hall reportedly spoke with University of Alabama coach Nick Saban's agent about the possibility of his replacing Brown.[40] University President Bill Powers expressed support for Brown, who has been coach since 1998.[41] While Saban has maintained he had no interest in leaving Alabama, a November report cited Saban's agent hinting at the possibility that Saban would leave Alabama for Texas.[42]
On November 6, 2013, the Houston Chronicle reported that Hall had said the University of Texas would be "under new leadership" by the end of 2013, during a phone call with University of Alabama Head Football Coach Nick Saban's agent. The Texas Tribune acquired a memo that was sent from Tom Hicks to his brother, regent Steven Hicks, detailing the phone conversation between Hicks, Hall and Jimmy Sexton, Saban's agent. The phone call took place on January 5, 2013 according to the email. Hicks wrote: "Specifically, he made the statement the[sic] Bil Powers wouldn't be here at the end of the year."[43][44]
Regents committees
Hall serves on the following Board standing committees:[45]
- Audit, Compliance, and Management Review
- Finance and Planning

Getting a solar panel system is a big decision … and so is choosing which company will install it for you.
Thinking of installing solar panels? Here are some payment options to consider.
Leasing solar panels may sound like a nice way to get green energy into your home, but count the cost before you sign that lease instead of buying outright.
Angie's Answers
Are you talking about powering your home solely on solar (i.e. no back up power source or off grid).
The power, once convered from DC to AC via the inverter, is suitable for use by the home.
Most solar application are in supplement to the current powering of the home and will spin the meter back in the day but are not the primary.
OK - that should strike Atlantic Plumbing off your vendor list !
You say female pipe to copper pipe connection - I hope you are not saying they connected copper directly to galvanized or black iron pipe. If so, there should have been a dielectric union put in there to prevent corrosion, which could be part of your problem.
Also, generally a bad idea to use teflon tape for hot water tank connections - too much thermal cycling, loosens it up over time. Should use plumbers dope for that application.
It sounds to me like a connection problem - if the tank itself was leaking it should be flooding the top of the tank or more likely running down through the insulation and dripping out the bottom.
Unless you are a do it yourselfer, sounds like you need to find a new plumber with good reviews and rating in your area - Search the List (in green banner bar). This should be an easy fix - should have him put in dielectric couplings (about $5-10 each depending on pipe size) if current connection is iron to copper, and even if not, have him redo connection not only for cold but also hot water - if one was done poorly, probably both were.

The invention relates to a method for improving the quality of service for data traffic in a mobile communication system, which uses GPRS (General Packet Radio System). The invention may also be used in other types of data networks, using packet switched traffic, e.g. the next generation mobile telecommunication system UMTS. The improvement of the quality of service is attained by defining a number of operator specific parameters, which give better possilibity to monitor and control of the quality of service within an area or for a given user. These parameters are then used by the operator in order to give the user better service. Using this invention the operator may in a better way attain the promised quality of service, both on user and area basis.
1. Method for generating and sustaining a certain a predetermined quality of service for data traffic in a communication system comprising a number of nodes communicating with terminals, whereat the communication is performed using packet switching, characterized by a definition of a first parameter (MAMAT), representing the lowest acceptable data rate during a predetermined time period (T), a definition of a second parameter (MAT) representing measured real data rate, and comparison of the first parameter (MAMAT) and the second parameter (MAT) in order to control that the predetermined quality of service is fulfilled.

[0001] The present invention relates to the area of mobile telecommunication systems. More closely, the invention relates to a method concerning operator specific optional services in a cellular mobile telecommunication system having option for packet-switched data.
[0002] The invention relates specifically, but not only, to a method for improvement of the quality of service in a mobile telecommunication system of the type GSM (Global System for Mobile telephony) with the packet data option GPRS (General Packet Radio System).
[0003] In a digital mobile telecommunication system using TDMA, the information is transferred between radio nodes and one or more mobiles, where the payload information may comprise speech information in a speech connection or data information in a data connection. In FIG. 1, an example is shown of such a system having a radio node BTS1, which communicates with two mobiles MS1 and MS2 which are located within a certain area C1 which is controlled by the node BTS1.
[0004] Transmission is performed via allocated radio channels within certain frequency bands, which are divided into two parts; uplink when the mobile sends to the radio node, and downlink when the radio node sends to a mobile.
[0005] One example of a digital TDMA-system is GSM, in the standard of which a packet data option is described which introduces packet data in a GSM-network. This technique is called GPRS and involves that data traffic is sent using a packet-switched technique instead of a circuit-switched technique, which is the case for GSM without packet data option. With GPRS present in a GSM-network possible and also the possibility for a user to be connected to the data network all the time.
[0006] In a GSM-network having GPRS, the radio channels are used efficiently by that a GPRS-terminal only uses a radio channel when it is sending or receiving data, the rest of the time it is silent and allows other terminals to use the channel. The radio channel PDCH (Packet Data Channel), which is allocated for GPRS, may be of two different types:
[0007] Dedicated PDCH, which only can be used for GPRS. The number of dedicated PDCH in each cell is decided by the operator, depending on the load or wish for capacity. This type of channel guarantees that there will always be capacity for GPRS in a cell;
[0008] On-demand PDCH, which can be cleared for incoming circuit-switched calls in a loaded cell. In such a channel, circuit-switched traffic always has priority and the GPRS-traffic cannot always be guaranteed.
[0009] In FIG. 2, an example is shown of how a set of two radio channels RF1, RF2 can have time slots allocated for both circuit-switched and packet-switched traffic. In RF1, the time slots 2, 3, 4 are allocated for circuit-switched traffic, i.e. speech traffic. In RF2, the time slots 5, 6 are allocated for circuit-switched traffic, while the time slots 1, 2, 3, 4 in RF2 are allocated for packet-switched traffic. In RF1, moreover, two time slots 6, 7 are allocated for On-demand PDCH, i.e. they are used, when needed, for circuit-switched traffic which has executive override, but can also be used for packet-switched traffic if they are free. Finally, the time slots 0, 1 in RF1 are allocated for signalling.
[0010] For a terminal to be able to use GPRS, it needs primarily to cedure. Firstly, in order to tell the operator that use will be made of GPRS and, secondly, in order to receive an IP-address to be able to send and receive data. The first step is GPRS-attach, which means that a logical link is formed between the terminal and the SGSN (Serving GPRS Support Node) in question. SGSN is the node which, among other things, performs the transport of incoming and outgoing IP-packets to and from terminals within its so-called SGSN service area, i.e. the area which is taken care of by a SGSN.
[0011] The second step is a PDP-Context activation, which means that the specific GGSN (Gateway GPRS Support Node) is informed of that the terminal being there and where it is. GGSN is the node which i.a. takes care of the interface between a GPRS-network and external IP-networks. A PDP-Context activation can be done at any time, e.g. long before data in reality is to be sent, since a user does not use any radio resources as long as he is not sending or receiving data. A PDP-Context activation can remain for any length of time, e.g. several days, all depending on the user's wishes, the limitation of the terminal or any other factor which limits the time.
[0012] This activation can be compared to a login on a network, the terminal thereby receiving an IP-address, static or dynamic, which then allows it to start sending and receiving data via IP-packets.
[0013] In order then to enable the user to use the data services, having different claims on data rate and delay of data packets offered by the operators, a number of attributes for quality of service have been standardized, as described in the Standard GSM (GSM 02.60, GSM 03.60):
[0014] Priority, Service Precedence, is divided into three different classes, indicating the priority of a certain service, and the packets belonging to this service. A service of a lower priority runs the risk of losing data packets when the I which means that a data packet of higher priority has precedence in the network;
[0015] Delay is divided into four classes defining which delay that is acceptable in the network;
[0016] Reliability is divided into three classes defining the probability for lost data packets, faulty data packets, doublets of data packets and data packets in the wrong order;
[0017] Peak Data Rate specifies the highest data rate in the network expected during a whole PDP-Context;
[0018] Mean Data Rate specifies the mean data rate expected in the network during a whole PDP-Context.
[0019] One problem in mobile telecommunication systems of the type GPRS is that the attributes defined in the GSM-standard for quality of service in GPRS are not quite sufficient to keep the promised quality of service.
[0020] Another problem is that the attribute defined for GPRS for mean data rate is calculated for a whole PDP-Context, which is the whole time a user has an assigned IP-address. The problem is that a PDP-Context may be several days long, which does not give any dependable indication of the real mean data rate during the active time.
[0021] Thus, one object of the present invention is to solve the problems of missing means for maintaining and controlling the promised quality of service, by introducing new operator-specific parameters giving a better control of the quality of service.
[0022] Another object is to procure a more dependable indication o: within an area for a certain user.
[0023] According to the invention, new operator-specific parameters are defined which facilitate maintenance and control of the promised quality of service. These parameters contain e.g. a user's minimum values of acceptable data rate, and measured values for comparison with said minimum value. Further, there are parameters for how and when measurement values should be calculated.
[0024] Advantages of the invention are that it will be easier to maintain promised quality of service using the new parameters.
[0025] Another advantage is that it will also be easier to control the quality of service both on the area and user level.
[0026] Further advantages are that an operator will have a better possibility to dimension a GPRS-network and to better control a channel-allocating algorithm to be able to fulfil promises to guarantee a certain level of quality of service.
[0027] The invention will now be described by means of preferred embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0028]FIG. 1 shows a communication system of a known type having nodes and terminals;
[0029]FIG. 2 shows an example of how a set of radio channels may be allocated;
[0030]FIG. 3 shows an example of a flowchart for use of the invention;
[0031] The method according to the invention is intended for a communication system which handles packet-switched data transport. One example of such a system is the mobile telecommunication system GSM with the packet data option GPRS. Such a system comprises one or more radio nodes and one or more mobiles, which communicate with each other via a given radio channel.
[0032] The new parameters introduced in a communication system, e.g. GPRS, are described as follows:
[0033] MAMAT (Minimum Acceptable Mean throughput during Active Time) defines the smallest acceptable data rate during the time when a user is active. This parameter is determined by the operator and may be set either at user level or area level, where the area may comprise, for example, a mobile cell or a LAN;
[0034] MAT (Mean throughput during Active time) defines the data rate mean value during the time when a user is active. It can be calculated as a mean value of a number of measured values during a certain time, here called the active time;
[0035] and T-window, which is the number of active times during which MAT is calculated. This means that T-window is the number of values for data rate used for mean value calculation of MAT.
[0036] This gives two parameters (MAMAT, T-window) determined by the operator, and a third (MAT) which is calculated. Further, different users may have different MAMAT- and T-window values. Different areas, e.g. mobile cells, may have different MAMAT for one and the same user, and MAMAT may also be different for uplink and downlink, respectively, for the same user. These choices are used by the operator to attain desired quality of service.
[0037] The active time T is the time during which a MAT-value fo
[0038] The data rate included in the new parameters may be either effective or raw data rate. Raw data rate is the actual data rate without any consideration taken to bit error ratio. The effective data rate may, on the other hand, be defined as the raw data rate multiplied by the bit error ratio, i.e. the final payload data which the user really receives.
[0039] When the new parameters MAT, MAMAT and T-window have been defined, one will in a better way be able to control and maintain promised quality of service. This is done through calculating a user's MAT-value and then comparing it to a defined MAMAT-value. In this way, one may obtain a measure as to whether promised quality of service is fulfilled.
[0040]FIG. 3 shows a flowchart of an embodiment according to the invention. The first step 10 defines MAMAT, the second step 11 defines MAT and the third step 12 defines T-window. In the fourth step 13, a value of MAT is calculated, which may be for a user or a whole area. In step 14, MAMAT is compared to MAT to see if the promised level of quality of service is fulfilled. If MAMAT is less than MAT (YES), the system fulfils the promised level of quality of service and will perform step 16, where it can be reported back that this is the case. If this is not the case (NO), i.e. that MAMAT is greater than MAT, the promised level of quality of service is not fulfilled, and step 15 will be performed and report that this is not the case. In step 15 may also be included a static counter which is increased for each case where the level of quality of service is not fulfilled, in order to prove how many or how great ratio does not receive promised capacity.
[0041] One example of use of the invention is when an operator determines a MAMAT-value of 20 kbits/s for user A and 50 kbits/s for user B. User A then receives 45 kbytes which takes 15 seconds. User B receives on three different occasions 10 kbytes during 4 seconds, 100 kbytes during 30 seconds and 30 kbytes during 10 seconds. These transmissions may to the user seem to work well, but when calculating MAT, user A receives a MAT-value of 24 kbits/s (45/15) �8) and user B receives a MAT-value of 23.5 kbits/s (((10/4)+(100/30)+(30/10)�8)/3). A comparison of MAT to MAMAT, however, shows that the operator is not fulfilling the promised quality of service for user B, and therefore more capacity must be allocated to him.
[0042] In the above example, the parameter T-window is 1 for user A, i.e. an active time of 15 seconds, forming the mean value. For user B, the T-window is 3, i.e. three active times of 4, 30 and 10 seconds, respectively, forming the mean value.
[0043] Further, the level of quality of service can be described as a measure of the level of guaranteed data rate or another measure. This means that if an operator offers 100% level of quality of service, it will indicate the guaranteed level of quality of service to all GPRS-users anywhere, anytime. However, if the level of quality of service is 0%, this indicates that all GPRS-traffic is of the type best-effort. Another example is when the operator offers 90% level of quality of service, which means that during 90% of the time, quality of service is guaranteed, while during the rest of the time the best-effort is offered.
[0044] The level of quality of service together with the new parameters may then be used by operators when dimensioning networks. The operator then sets MAMAT and T-window on area or user level. To be able to set the parameters on area level, makes it possible for the operator to set a lower tolerance within areas which are often overloaded. Further, a static counter is included, which indicates the portion or the number of users who have their MAT less than MAMAT, or the portion of the active time when a user has his MAT less than MAMAT. This better support in exploring if set goals for level of quality of service are fulfilled, or if the network needs to be redimensioned.
[0045] The new parameters also offer the possibility to introduce a channel-allocating algorithm, which will help in allocating or de-allocating GPRS-specific time slots. The purpose of the algorithm is, when a need arises, to increase or decrease the number of time slots used for GPRS. The need may, for example, be an increased demand for data rate or a user who is going to connect a speech call, which has a higher priority on account of being circuit-switched and has priority in radio channels of the type On-demand PDCH.
[0046] An algorithm for channel allocation may be divided into several different portions, e.g. one part which handles new incoming terminals in the area, e.g. a new mobile which enters a new cell, or a new user who logs in on a network, and a part which handles already existing terminals in the area.
[0047] The invention is, of course, not limited to the above described and on the drawings shown embodiments, but can be modified within the scope of the appended claims. The invention may, for example, also be applied to local data networks (LAN), Ethernet-based networks, a big TCP/IP-based network, or a mobile UMTS network of e.g. the type WCDMA, where mobile users can use high data rates and associated applications. The invention can also be used in other mobile systems, e.g. PDC (Personal Digital Cellular) and D-AMPS (Digital-Advanced Mobile Phone System), and all other communication systems which can carry data traffic.
