Abstract
A mobile station or other network node transmits a request to update the quality of service associated with an existing radio access bearer. In response to the request, the radio access bearer is updated without tearing down the established radio access bearer. Some applications can be associated with one or more quality of service indicia, so that as service demands change in use of a single application, requests for quality of service updates can be transmitted by, for example, a mobile station. Updates can be initiated by other user equipment or by network nodes such as gateway GPRS support nodes. Service interruptions can be reduced by preserving a radio access bearer (RAB), which is particularly useful for a stationary mobile station that continues to communicate with the same serving GPRS support node.

19. A mobile station, comprising:
-
a transmitter configured to communicate with a wireless communication network; a memory configured to store at least a first quality of service parameter and a second quality of service parameter associated with a first data service and a second data service, respectively; a processor configured to establish the first quality of service parameter as a current quality of service parameter in response to initiation of a request for the first data service, and to deliver to the transmitter a request to update the current quality of service parameter to the second quality of service parameter in response to initiation of a request for the second data service. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22)
