Abstract
A method, apparatus and/or system for communicating in a wireless network may dynamically create and/or delete a medium access control (MAC) quality of service (QoS) connection in a wireless link between a base station and a mobile station. Each wireless base station in the network may have an integrated session initiation protocol (SIP) proxy and the MAC QoS connection may be triggered by session initiation protocol (SIP) signaling received at the base station. Various other detailed embodiments and variants are also disclosed.
