MANAGING INTERNET PROTOCOL BASED RESOURCES IN A PACKET-BASED ACCESS NETWORK

摘要

The present invention performs the resource management for one or more Internet Protocol based resources to a plurality of packet routing provides a method apparatus. To ensure a relatively high end-to-end quality of service, the method and apparatus to define one or more user-specific service metrics to be used by the Internet Protocol (IP) mechanism in the network layer provides IP-based resource management in a next generation network. The wireless router to provide a wireless access using radio resource management to capture the one or more attributes for at least one network link, and at least one of a wireless link as a metric that can be used by the IP mechanism. This metric based on the distribution information with respect to, each router including a wireless router and an IP router may decide whether to send the packet to the associated wireless link or a network link. Does not distinguish between the wireless link and the network link by the wireless and IP routers can enabling a plurality of the packet routing through an integrated network.
