Abstract
The provision of Quality of Service support is one of the key issues in UMTS network deployment. The paper analyses the solution implemented by a UMTS network operator in its launch network. The end-to-end QoS provision problem is presented and a solution, based on specific network engineering and adaptation of the applications to the radio bearers and service classes, is introduced and analysed.
