IMPROVED METHOD OF PROVIDING QUALITY OF SERVICE IN A MOBILE TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORK

摘要

In a third generation telecommunications network, quality of service can be provided to a mobile in a foreign network by providing a quality of service session divided into a first section from the correspondent node (24) to the home network (50) and a second section from the home network (50) to the mobile node (28); a quality of service enquiry message is sent through both sections, but a quality of service response message is not returned in the first section until the response message from the second section has been received by the home network (50).
