First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for providing a parameterized quality of service (QoS) flow, the method comprising:
- receiving a registration request comprising a resource requirement from a device;
determining whether at least one resource is available to fulfill the resource requirement; and
in response to determining that the at least one resource is available to fulfill the resource requirement;
establishing a flow priority, andadding the device to a priority queue configuration.

Abstract
Parameterized Quality of Service (QoS) may be provided. In response to receiving a registration request from a device, a determination of resource availability may be made. If resources are available to satisfy data flows to the device, a flow priority may be established and the device may be added to the priority queue configuration. If the device later requests establishment of a data flow, the data flow may be transmitted at the established flow priority.

12. A system for providing a parameterized quality of service flow, the system comprising:
-
a memory storage; and a processing unit coupled to the memory storage, wherein the processing unit is operative to; receive a request to establish a traffic flow from a source device to a destination device, determine whether a priority queue configuration comprises an entry associated with the source device and the destination device, in response to determining that the priority queue configuration comprises the entry associated with the source device and the destination device, retrieve a priority level associated with the entry, and establish the traffic flow from the source device to the destination device. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A computer-readable medium which stores a set of instructions which when executed performs a method for providing a parameterized quality of service flow, the method executed by the set of instructions comprising:
-
receiving a request to establish a traffic flow between a source device and a destination device, wherein the request comprises a source MAC address associated with the source device and a destination MAC address associated with the destination device; determining whether a traffic specification entry associated with the source device and the destination device exists in a device list table, wherein the device list table comprises an index associated with at least one of the following;
the source MAC address and the destination MAC address;in response to determining that the traffic specification entry associated with the source device and the destination device exists in the device list table, establishing the traffic flow between the source device and the destination device according to at least one attribute associated with the traffic specification entry. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
