MAPPING OF QUALITY OF SERVICE PARAMETERS BETWEEN RADIO ACCESS TECHNOLOGIES

摘要

A method and apparatus are described, the method comprising initializing (2602) quality of service, QoS, for a packet flow over a first network (1041), establishing (2604) a QoS context for the packet flow on a second network (1042) via tunneling to the second network (1042) in response to the initializing, monitoring (2606) for changes to the QoS for the packet flow over the first network (1041) and updating (2608) the QoS context for the packet flow on the second network (1042) via the tunneling to the second network (1042) in response to respective monitored changes to the QoS for the packet flow over the first network (1041). Furthermore a method and apparatus for activating the QoS context for the second network (1042) in response to entry of a network device into the second network (1042) are described.
