Method and apparatus for providing end-to-end quality of service (QoS)
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for supporting quality of service (QoS) in a radio communication system, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a first end station, a QoS profile identifier corresponding to a QoS parameter over the radio communication system; and
determining the QoS parameter based on the received identifier, wherein the QoS parameter specifies a characteristic of a communication session established over the radio communication system between the first end station and a second end station.

Abstract
An approach is provided for supporting end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) control. A QoS profile identifier is generated that maps to a QoS parameter. The identifier is transmitted over the radio communication system to an end station, wherein the end station determines the QoS parameter based on the received identifier. The approach also provides an alert mechanism in which the end station transmits an alert message upon detecting a deviation from the QoS parameter.
