METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SESSION SETUP IN DYNAMIC NETWORKS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and apparatus for setting up a session in a dynamic network scenario including a non-stationary network and guaranteeing a defined quality of service when initiating the session.

SOLUTION: A first end-host belongs to a first non-stationary/non-fixed network being able to connect to a first stationary access network having a quality-of-service controller. A second end-host is connected to the first stationary access network. The disclosed method comprises: providing the quality of service controller in each stationary and non-stationary network; making a session initiation server in the stationary network and each of the quality-of-service controllers aware of each other; triggering the quality-of-service controller of the first stationary network to allocate resources for each session in their respective networks in response to a session initiation request received by the session initiation server; and triggering the quality of service controller of the first non-stationary network.
