METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING DIFFERENTIATED QUALITY OF SERVICE FOR PACKETS IN A PARTICULAR FLOW
First Claim
1. A method for providing differentiated quality of service (QoS) on a per-packet basis for frames in a particular flow in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- receiving a plurality of packets in a flow;
classifying each of the packets into one of a plurality of QoS classes based on information about each of the packets;
indicating a classified QoS class for each of the packets; and
processing each of the packets adaptively based on the indicated QoS class for each packet.

Abstract
Each of a plurality of packets in a particular flow is classified into one of a plurality of quality of service (QoS) classes based on information about each packet. Each packet is then adaptively processed based on the QoS class for each packet. The classification may be performed based on media information included in a session description protocol (SDP) messaging. The classification may also be performed based on a real-time transmit protocol (RTP) payload, an RTP header, a transmission control protocol (TCP) header, a user datagram protocol (UDP) header, and an Internet protocol (IP) header. The packets may be transmitted using multiple system architecture evolution (SAE) radio bearers each of which is used to deliver differentiated QoS requirements. The packets may be mapped to eigen-modes based on the QoS class of each packet such that a packet requiring a higher level of QoS is mapped to a stronger eigen-mode.
