Method and system for limiting quality of service of data transmission
First Claim
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.

Abstract
A method of limiting the quality of service of data transmission in a wireless telecommunications system, in which the quality of service of data transmission is defined by means of quality of service parameters. Subscriber-specific maximum values are defined for the quality of service parameters and stored in a database comprising subscriber data. When the terminal requests connection establishment defined with quality of service parameters, the subscriber-specific maximum values are checked in the database and they are compared with the quality of service parameters requested by the terminal. Depending on whether the quality of service parameters requested by the terminal are within the limits defined by the maximum values of the parameters or whether at least one quality of service parameter requested by the terminal exceeds the maximum value defined for said parameter, either a connection is established or connection establishment is rejected.

8. A wireless telecommunications system, which comprises at least one terminal and a fixed network which comprises a database for storing subscriber data, the quality of service of data transmission being defined by means of quality of service parameters in the system;
- the system comprising
means for defining a subscriber-specific maximum value for at least one quality of service parameter; means for storing the subscriber-specific maximum value of the at least one quality of service parameter, and means for checking 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, whereby in response to a connection establishment request defined with at least one quality of service parameter made by the terminal, the system is arranged to offer 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 exceeds the maximum value defined for said quality of service parameter or the resources of the system, or alternatively, establish a connection if each qualify 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. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
