<p>Methods and apparatus are provided for reserving resources in a wireline network from a wireless network. A resource reservation request is made by a service client to a service broker (SB). The service broker (SB) contacts a bandwidth broker (BB) to determine the available resources in the wireline network. The service broker (SB) also contacts a geographical domain server (GDS) for information related to wireless access for the requested reservation. Using information provided by the geographical domain server (GDS), the service broker (SB) contacts a radio bearer broker (RBB) to determine the resources available in a particular wireless network. Based upon the information provided by bandwidth brokers (BB) and radio bearer brokers (RBB), the service client can reserve the requested resources.</p> |
