Quality of service for device assisted services
First Claim
1. A method for implementing a wireless network service policy on a wireless end-user device, the method comprising:
- obtaining, from a user interface (UI) or a wireless network interface of the device, a quality of service (QoS) activity map, the QoS activity map indicating a respective QoS policy applicable to each of plurality of wireless network service usage activities, wherein the QoS policy indicated as applicable to a particular wirless network service usage activity is based on a device application associated with the wireless network service usage activity and at least one other policy criterion applicable at the time of the wireless network service usage activity;
identifying, for a given wireless network service usage activity, the device application associated with the given wireless network service usage activity;
determining an applicable QoS policy for the given wireless network service usage activity from the QoS activity map, based on the identified device applicaton and the at least one other policy criterion; and
applying the applicable QoS policy from the QoS activity map to the given wireless network service usage activity.

Abstract
A method for implementing a service policy on a device by obtaining, from a user interface (UI) or a network interface, a quality of service (QoS) activity map of an application identifier to a QoS policy, wherein the QoS policy is determined at least in part by an access state qualifier, the access state qualifier characterizing an aspect of access network resources; identifying a device service usage in association with the application identifier; applying the QoS policy from the QoS activity map to the device service usage, wherein a QoS service activity, including the device service usage, falls within a class of activities associated with the application identifier and governed by the QoS policy; and processing the device service usage in accordance with the QoS policy.
