METHOD OF HANDLING QOS REQUIREMENTS IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORK, WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORK, AND ACCESS NETWORK ELEMENT FOR USE THEREIN

摘要

A method of handling Quality-of-Service, QoS, requirements in a wireless network (1), in particular a WiMAX or 3GPP LTE/SAE network. The proposed method comprises sending QoS requirements (A) from a first element (8) of a wireless core network (4) to an element (6) of a wireless access network (3) involved in resource allocation to a user equipment (2) requiring a service with said QoS requirements. The proposed method further comprises:sending a registration message (B) from the wireless access network element (6) to a second element (11) of the wireless core network (4) for registrating the user equipment (2);including in said registration message (B) at least one parameter indicating an identifier of an entity (7) in the wireless access network element (6) to which the QoS requirements (A) are to be sent.
