In UMTS, quality of service attributes, which a user equipment can prescribe for an end-to-end service to be set up in order to meet a specific quality of service, in most cases have to be processed by a central call and admission control function in the network. These quality of service attributes have to be made known to the admission functions of all possible path-segments. Advantageously, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a quality of service attribute is only transmitted to a selected number of network nodes at the edge of the network. The selected and limited number of network nodes perform a quality of service operation triggered by a receiving station. Advantageously, this may result in a reduction of data traffic and an improved implementation and standardization process. Furthermore, the quality of service attribute may be added to an obligatory configuration message, thus even further reducing the data traffic.
