Abstract
Provided is an IP QoS management mechanism for modern wireless networks to guarantee delivery of IP services with the required quality through the networks to customers. A layered QoS management architecture is provided which performs the QoS control over the entire communication protocol stack of a wireless network. The architecture consists of two levels of IP QoS management with an adaptation interface between them. These different functional and adapting levels are called from top to bottom, Upper Layer QoS Management (ULQM), IP QoS adaptation (IQA), and Lower Layer QoS Management (LLQM).
