Claim:
1. A method for configuring quality of service (QoS) for a link between an access terminal and a network, comprising: providing, at the network, a reservation identification space for applications of the access terminal, wherein the reservation identification space is divided into at least two spaces and comprises: sending, from the network to the access terminal, an indication of a QoS configuration for each application of the access terminal, based on whether a QoS request was initiated by the access terminal or the network; establishing a traffic plane function with the access terminal; determining whether the QoS request was initiated by the access terminal or the network based on the indication; performing the QoS configuration with the access terminal for one of the applications of the access terminal through use of the traffic plane function and information included in the first reservation identification space in response to a determination that the QoS request was initiated by the access terminal; and reserving, at the network and in response to performing the QoS configuration, QoS information prior to initiation of a communication link.
