Abstract

A UE is described herein that has a defined QoS database which is used to organize and store various QoS parameter sets which are used to help establish media flows. In one embodiment, the QoS database includes a plurality of tables, where each table is associated with a particular application, and where each table has a plurality of rows, and where each row includes a media type, a requested QoS parameter set, and an optional minimum QoS parameter set. An operator can use a communication network to populate/provision the QoS database. An operator can also use the communication network to fine-tune (update) the QoS database which enables them to enhance the bearer QoS for existing applications and to enable the appropriate bearer QoS for future applications.
