Abstract
System and method for providing quality of service enablers for third party applications are described. In one embodiment, the method comprises user equipment (“UE”) establishing a communications session with a third party application server hosting a selected third party application and receiving from the third party application server QoS information comprising at least one of a plurality of QoS attributes and configuring a QoS of a radio access network (“RAN”) in accordance with the received QoS information. The method further comprises activating the RAN QoS for the selected application; and establishing an application session with the third party application server via the RAN.

A method of providing quality of service (“QoS”) enablers for third party applications provided over a carrier network, the method comprising:
- user equipment (“UE”) establishing a communications session with a third party application server hosting a selected third party application and receiving from the third party application server QoS information comprising at least one of a plurality of QoS attributes;
- configuring a QoS of a radio access network (“RAN”) in accordance with the received QoS information;
- activating the RAN QoS for the selected application;
- and
- establishing an application session with the third party application server via the RAN.
A method of providing quality of service (“QoS”) enablers for third party applications provided over a carrier network, the method comprising:
- user equipment (“UE”) registering with a proxy application server (“PAS”) in accordance with a first protocol;
- the UE obtaining a uniform resource identifier (“URI”) of the PAS;
- the UE establishing a communications session with the PAS using the received URI of the PAS and selecting an application hosted by a third party application server;
- the PAS retrieving from the third party application server QoS information for the selected application, the QoS information comprising at least one of a plurality of QoS attributes;
- communicating the QoS information to the UE;
- and
- the UE establishing an application session with the third party application server via a radio access network (“RAN”).
A method of providing quality of service (“QoS”) enablers for third party applications provided over a carrier network, the method comprising:
- user equipment (“UE”) establishing a communications session with a third party application server hosting a selected third party application;
- communicating the QoS information from the third party application server to a core network (“CN”) component such as policy and charging rules function (“PCRF”), the QoS information comprising at least one of a plurality of QoS attributes;
- the CN component communicating that same QoS information to the UE, and
- the UE establishing an application session with the third party application server via a radio access network (“RAN”).
