Quality of service based upon location

摘要

Devices, systems and methods are disclosed which relate to implementing location-based quality of service (QoS) for applications running over a mobile communications network. A user sets up one or more geofenced area(s) delimited by position coordinates and associated with their mobile computing device. Also associated with each geofenced area is a QoS Profile listing a plurality of requested QoS attributes for traffic going to/from the user's mobile computing device or specific applications running on his/her mobile computing device over the mobile communications network. When the user enters a particular geofenced area associated with their mobile computing device, the QoS Profile associated with that geofenced area is loaded as the active QoS Profile for the mobile computing device. Additionally, as part of their QoS Profiles, a user optionally sets up other conditions which trigger changes in requested QoS attributes for their traffic over the mobile communications network. In embodiments of the present invention, the motion of the user is a condition which triggers changes in requested QoS attributes for their traffic over the mobile communications network.
