Abstract
A method and apparatus for controlling data transmission in a communication system is provided. In one aspect of the invention relates to a method performed by a data transmission control node in a communication system. The method comprises receiving a request for a transmission rule for a device; determining a transmission impacting parameter for the device based on information received in the request and based on the transmission impacting parameter further determining a device transmission rule governing the data transmission by the device. A transmission rule deployment message is transmitted to the device enabling the device to govern transmission in accordance with the device transmission rule. Another aspect of the invention relates to a transmission control node apparatus and a further aspect relates to a user equipment device. An advantage is that enabling a sending device to optimize its traffic allows a better performing network with higher utilization.
