Abstract:
1. A method of managing quality of service in a mobile radio network in which protocols for communication over terrestrial interfaces comprise a radio network layer and a transport network layer and wherein quality of service management includes quality of service management linked to a radio network layer and quality of service management linked to the transport network layer, said method comprising: sending, from a first network element to a second network element, by the radio network layer signaling protocol, at least one parameter representative of transport quality of service or of quality of service for the transport network layer, managing, by the second network element, the transport quality of service according to said at least one parameter for transport quality of service management for uplink transmission over an Iub interface between a controlling radio network controller and a Node B, wherein said first network element is a controlling radio network controller, wherein said second network element is a Node B or a base station, wherein said radio network layer signaling protocol is a Node B Application Part protocol applicable to the Iub interface between the controlling radio network controller and the Node B.
