Quality of service for device assisted services
First Claim
1. A wireless end-user device comprising:
- a wireless modem configured to connect the wireless end-user device to a selected network, the network selected from one or more networks of a home wireless network type and one or more networks of a roaming wireless network type;
a processor configured to;
maintain a quality of service (QoS) activity map, the QoS activity map indicating a respective QoS policy applicable to each of a plurality of wireless network service usage activities, wherein the QoS policy indicated as applicable to a particular wireless network service usage activity is based on both a device application associated with the wireless network service usage activity and a wireless network type for a current selected wireless network;
identify, for a given wireless network service usage activity, the device application associated with the given wireless network service usage activity;
determine an applicable QoS policy for the given wireless network service usage activity from the QoS activity map, based on the identified device application and on an indication of wireless network type for the current selected wireless network; and
apply the applicable QoS policy from the QoS activity map to the given wireless network service usage activity.

Abstract
A wireless end-user device contains a processor configured to maintain a quality of service (QoS) activity map that is based on at least two criteria: a device application associated with a given wireless network service usage activity, and a wireless network type for a current selected wireless network, where the types include a home wireless network type and a roaming wireless network type. The processor determines an application associated with the given wireless network service usage activity, and then determines an applicable QoS policy from the associated application and an indication of the current wireless network type. The processor applies the applicable QoS policy to the service usage activity.
