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 1):
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 associated with the mobile device; in response to sending the inquiry for the allowed bit rate, receiving at the gateway, a first bit rate value as the allowed bit rate associated with the mobile device; upon receiving the first bit rate value, 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 from the charging system; 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 until the quota is reached; subsequent to the quota being reached, identifying that a data usage threshold is reached; subsequent to identifying that a data usage threshold is reached, receiving, at the gateway and from the controller, a second bit rate value as the allowed bit rate associated with the mobile device; in response to receiving the second bit rate value, enabling the mobile device to access data on the communication network based on the second bit rate value until a predefined activation time is reached; and resetting the second bit rate value for the mobile device to the first bit rate value when the predefined activation time is reached, wherein identifying that a data usage threshold is reached comprises receiving, at the gateway and from the controller, a first notification indicating that the data usage threshold is reached, the first notification being responsive to a second notification received at the controller from the charging system indicating that the data usage threshold is reached.
