Methods and media are provided for allowing WiMAX device users varying levels of Quality of Service (QoS) based on the network service provider ID (NSPID) present on the device. A user's authentication request can be routed based on the NSPID, thus ensuring certain prescribed QoS levels. The QoS level could be varied over time as requested by the user. Guarantee of the QoS levels can be accomplished by dedicating network resources, such as the number of servers, the quality of servers, or the bandwidth allocated. Utilizing the NSPID to route the user prior to authentication also improves latency time for user-authentication requests and improves traffic flow across the network by reducing the need to reroute. |
