Abstract

A method for resource reservation executed by a network element of a mobile communication network for a communication connection between a mobile device and a communication destination includes: receiving a request for establishing the communication connection between the mobile device and the communication destination originating from an application of the mobile device; determining the type of application requesting the communication connection between the mobile device and the communication destination; estimating the required Quality of Service (QoS) for the requested communication connection with respect to the upload and/or download requirements under consideration of the type of application requesting the communication connection between the mobile device and the communication destination; checking whether the communication connection between the mobile device and the communication destination can provide the estimated required QoS; and reserving if possible the resources for the communication connection between the mobile device and the communication destination to provide the required QoS.
