Method and Apparatus for Negotiation Control of Quality of Service Parameters

An apparatus for negotiation control of Quality of Service (QoS) parameters, the apparatus comprising:

• an obtaining unit, configured to obtain static QoS parameters of a User Equipment (UE), wherein the static QoS parameters comprise static QoS parameters related to an Access Point Name (APN);
• an establishing unit, configured to establish a Packet Data Network (PDN) connection corresponding to the APN with the UE;
• and
• a first sending unit, configured to send static QoS parameters related to the APN corresponding to the PDN to an access network to enable the access network to perform QoS authorization, according to the static QoS parameters related to the APN corresponding to the PDN, for establishing an air interface bearer for the UE, wherein the static QoS parameters carry a PDN Identifier (ID).

A method for negotiation control of Quality of Service (QoS) parameters, the method comprising:

• obtaining, by a High Rate Packet Data (HRPD) Serving Gateway (HSGW), static QoS parameters of a User Equipment (UE), wherein the static QoS parameters comprise static QoS parameters related to an Access Point Name (APN);
• establishing, by the HSGW, a Packet Data Network (PDN) connection corresponding to the APN with the UE;
• receiving, by the HSGW, dynamic QoS rules sent by a Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF);
• verifying, by the HSGW according to dynamic QoS policies in the dynamic QoS rules and the static QoS parameters, air interface bearer QoS negotiated between the UE and an access network;
• and
• determining if it is necessary to modify the negotiated air interface bearer QoS, and, if so, sending the modified authorized air interface bearer QoS to the access network.
