Methods and systems are disclosed facilitate differentiated QoS service for packets within a single packet stream. For example, extended QCI values may be used to differentiate service of video packets associated with different priorities. A flexible representation of QoS requirements/parameters is disclosed where QoS may be defined as a hyperspace that is a function of base QoS parameters. A WTRU may explicitly specify and/or request desired QoS parameters. A WTRU may be configured to perform one or more of video packet separation into a plurality of video packet sub-streams, merging of the video packet sub-streams, and/or reordering of the packets included in the video packet sub-streams. Techniques may be utilized to exposing more information to a data transmission network regarding the type of video packets (and/or other packets) being transmitted.
