Patent ID: 8184533

Claim:
A method for quality of service (QoS) control over multiple accesses, comprising: receiving at least one resource request for a set of data flows from an access terminal, wherein the at least one resource request includes an instruction to have the set of data flows transferred to the access terminal via a first network entity; generating a set of QoS rules based at least in part on the at least one resource request for the set of data flows; transmitting to the first network entity a first set of QoS rules including the set of QoS rules and a first indicator instructing the first network entity to trigger a bearer setup with the access terminal; and transmitting to a second network entity a second set of QoS rules including the set of QoS rules and a second indicator instructing the second network entity to store the set of QoS rules until the second network entity receives a resource request from the access terminal.
