Radio resource reservation for wireless networks

摘要

The present invention supports a communication protocol on a wireless communication network to allocate network resources. The radio network controller maintains quality of service (QoS) profiles. A serving node determines the type of application in a communication call and determines a QoS policy it transmits to the radio network. The radio network identifies the QoS profile based on the received policy and allocates network resources before announcing the call to an access terminal.

主权项

1. A packet-based wireless communication system, comprising:
a serving node on the system identifying the application of a communication call based on packet characteristics; a radio network controller coupled to the serving node and controlling a radio network possessing at least one base transceiver station configured into at least one paging zone; and said serving node communicating the application as a policy value designating a quality of service behavior type to the radio network controller, said radio network controller allocating required network resources, based on the policy value, before announcing the call to a coupled access terminal, wherein said allocating excludes the radio network controller performing a handshaking routing with the access terminal.
