Abstract:
1. A method for limiting the quality of service (QoS) of data transmission in a wireless telecommunications system which comprises at least one terminal and a fixed network which comprises a database for storing subscriber data, the method comprising: defining the quality of service of data transmission by means of quality of service parameters; defining a subscriber-specific maximum value for at least one quality of service parameter; storing the subscriber-specific maximum value of the at least one quality of service parameter in the database comprising the subscriber data; checking, in response to the request made by the terminal for connection establishment defined with at least one quality of service parameter, the subscriber-specific maximum value of the quality of service parameter in the database comprising the subscriber data; comparing the at least one quality of service parameter requested by the terminal with the subscriber-specific maximum value of the quality of service parameter; and offering connection establishment with lower values of the quality of service parameters to the terminal to be accepted in response to the fact that at least one of the quality of service parameters requested by the terminal exceeds the maximum value defined for the quality of service parameter.
