Abstract:
1. A method for translation between IP Quality of Service (QoS) parameters and Universal Mobile Telecommunications Service (UMTS) QoS attributes, said method comprising the steps of: a. translating IP QoS parameters to UMTS QoS attributes; and b. translating UMTS QoS attributes to IP QoS parameters; wherein said step of translating IP QoS parameters to UMTS QoS attributes comprises the steps of; a. checking for Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) parameters; b. determining UMTS Qos attributes using Controlled Load parameters and wireless hints, if MIME parameters are not set; and c. determining UMTS QoS attributes using Controlled Load parameters, wireless hints and MIME parameters, if MIME parameters are set.
