Abstract
A call flow is provided in a wireless communication system to enable quality of service (QoS) parameters to be retrieved and provided to a base station when a wireless device requests service. The QoS parameters may include or represent a QoS profile associated with the wireless device, a QoS profile associated with a user of the wireless device, or a QoS policy for a session involving the wireless device. The base station uses the QoS parameters to control access to the system by the wireless device. Another call flow is provided to transfer the QoS parameters from the base station to a packet control function for storage when a packet data session associated with the wireless device becomes dormant. If the packet data session is later reactivated, the QoS parameters are provided from the packet control function back to the base station.
