Abstract:
A method is provided for enforcing quality of service parameters. A gateway receives a request for data usage from a mobile device. The gateway sends, to a controller, inquiry for allowed bit rate. Upon receiving a first bit rate value, the gateway sends, to a charging system, request for quota. In response to receiving the quota, the gateway provides data to the mobile device based on the first bit rate value. The gateway provides data to the mobile device until the quota is exhausted. Once a data usage threshold is reached, the gateway receives, from the controller, a second bit rate value. In response to receiving the second bit rate value, the gateway provides data to the mobile device based on the second bit rate value, until an activation-time is reached. When the activation-time is reached, the gateway resets the allowed bit rate from the second bit rate value to the first bit rate value.

Claim (Index 11):
A method comprising:\n receiving, at a gateway and from a mobile device, a request for data usage, wherein the request is received at the gateway over a communication network; in response to receiving the request for data usage, sending from the gateway to a controller, an inquiry for an allowed bit rate and a default priority level associated with the mobile device; in response to sending the inquiry for the allowed bit rate and the default priority level, receiving, at the gateway, a first bit rate value as the allowed bit rate and the default priority level associated with the mobile device; upon receiving the first bit rate value as the allowed bit rate and the default priority level, sending from the gateway to a charging system, a request for a quota associated with the mobile device, wherein the quota indicates an amount of data the mobile device is allowed to use; in response to the request for the quota associated with the mobile device, receiving, at the gateway, the quota and a validity time from the charging system, the quota received from the charging system including a slice of a remaining available quota associated with the mobile device prior to a data usage threshold for the mobile device being reached; in response to receiving the quota from the charging system, enabling the mobile device to access data on the communication network based on the first bit rate value and the default priority level until the quota is reached or the validity time is expired; subsequent to the quota being reached or the validity time being expired, determining that the data usage threshold for the mobile device is reached; upon determining the data usage threshold for the mobile device is reached, receiving, at the gateway and from the controller, a second bit rate value as the allowed bit rate and a second priority level associated with the mobile device; enabling the mobile device to access data on the communication network based on the second bit rate value over one or more mobile devices having a lower priority level than the second priority level until a predefined activation time is reached; and when the predefined activation time is reached, resetting the second allowed bit rate value for the mobile device to the first bit rate value and resetting the second priority level to the default priority level.
