Abstract

A method of limiting the quality of service of data transmission in a wireless telecommunications system, in which the quality of service of data transmission is defined by means of quality of service parameters. Subscriber-specific maximum values are defined for the quality of service parameters and stored in a database comprising subscriber data. When the terminal requests connection establishment defined with quality of service parameters, the subscriber-specific maximum values are checked in the database and they are compared with the quality of service parameters requested by the terminal. Depending on whether the quality of service parameters requested by the terminal are within the limits defined by the maximum values of the parameters or whether at least one quality of service parameter requested by the terminal exceeds the maximum value defined for said parameter, either a connection is established or connection establishment is rejected.
