Patent ID: 8675577

Claim:
A method to enhance quality of experience (QoE) in a wireless communication system, comprising: receiving, at a base station (BS) in a WiMax network, a dynamic service addition request (DSA-REQ) and one or more multimedia-specific application layer parameters, the DSA-REQ comprising a request to create a WiMax service flow for transmission of multimedia content to a mobile station (MS); transmitting a trigger signal to create the WiMax service flow based on the one or more multimedia-specific application layer parameters, the WiMax service flow comprising a quality of service (QoS) class defined for the WiMax network, the WiMax service flow prioritized based on the QoS class; transmitting a dynamic service addition response (DSA-RSP) to the MS; receiving a source-encoded signal comprising the multimedia content; generating a source-channel encoded signal using the source-encoded signal and the one or more multimedia-specific application layer parameters; and transmitting the source-channel encoded signal to the MS via the WiMax service flow.
