1. A method for limiting the quality of service (QoS) of data transmission in a wireless telecommunications system which comprises at least one terminal and a fixed network which comprises a database for storing subscriber data, the method comprising:

  • defining the quality of service of-data transmission by means of quality of service parameters;

    defining a subscriber-specific maximum value for at least one quality of service parameter;

    storing the subscriber-specific maximum value of said at least one quality of service parameter in the database comprising the subscriber data;

    checking, in response to the request made by the terminal for connection establishment defined with at least one quality of service parameter, the subscriber-specific maximum value of said quality of service parameter such that the at least one quality of service parameter requested by the terminal is compared with the subscriber-specific maximum value of the quality of service parameter; and

    offering connection establishment with lower values of the quality of service parameters to the terminal to be accepted if at least one of the quality of service parameters requested by the terminal exceeds the maximum value defined for said quality of service parameter or the resources of the system, or alternativelyestablishing a connection if each quality of service parameter requested by the terminal is within the limits defined by the maximum value of said quality of service parameter and sufficient system resources are available.
