Abstract

Techniques are described for a device to request a new service flow for best effort (BE) category traffic to assign a priority to the new service flow. For example, a Traffic Priority parameter in a media access control (MAC) message can be used to transmit the priority level for a new BE category service flow. The MAC message can be an AAI DSA-REQ message (specified in IEEE 802.16m draft 9 (2010)). Either a base station or a mobile station can request a new service flow using the MAC message.
