System and method for controlling parameters for applications serviced in a best effort communication link

摘要

The present invention relates to a system and method for controlling parameters for applications serviced in a best effort (BE) communication link. The system includes a protocol specific processor configured to acquire at least one of (i) an application identifier and (ii) type of protocol associated with at least one layer higher than an internet layer for a packet to be transmitted in the BE communication link. The protocol specific processor is also configured to determine parameters for the packet according to the acquired at least one of (i) application identifier and (ii) the type of protocol associated with the at least one layer such that the packet receives quality of service (QoS) treatment in a Radio Access Network.
