Abstract
A mechanism is provided for supporting differentiated services (quality of service) in a radio network. A radio access system is provided which supports the quality of service in data packet transmission over its air interface. The system comprises a selection of predefined default radio flows having different quality of service characteristics and means (4, 52) for selecting a radio flow having appropriate quality of service characteristics for the packet to be transmitted over the air interface from the selection.

34. A method for supporting the quality of service in packet data transmission in a radio network, whereby transmission over the air interface is based on packet scheduling, the method comprising:
selecting a radio scheduling queue having appropriate quality of service characteristics for the packet to be transmitted over the air interface from a selection of default radio scheduling queues having different quality of service characteristics, wherein the radio scheduling queues may be either aggregated in the air interface or identified separately in the air interface with the aid of queue or connection specific radio flow identifiers.
