Dynamic QoS mapping in a home network

Abstract

A method for selecting and applying a dedicated quality of service (QoS) class for a user equipment (UE) within a home network that communicates with a data network includes: communicating, by the UE, with the data network over a communication path, wherein the communication path comprises a first communication link of a first QoS class between the UE and a residential gateway (RG) and a second communication link of a second QoS class between the RG and the data network; and initially selecting, by the RG, a default QoS class for the first QoS class for the UE. The communication comprises an identification of the UE and/or a traffic descriptor that is received by the RG and/or by a network entity within the data network.
