Qos configuration for a wireless device

A node for configuring a quality of service, QoS, level for a wireless communication network bearer corresponding to a wireless device, the node comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory storing instructions that, when executed, configure the processor to:
• assign a first QoS profile to the bearer when the wireless device is in a first QoS region served by a first wireless communication network cell, the first QoS profile corresponding to a first QoS level available in the first wireless communication network cell but not available to the wireless device in a second wireless communication network cell neighboring the first wireless communication network cell;
• and
• determine when the wireless device begins a handover process with the second wireless communication network cell, where communication for the bearer is established between the wireless device and the second wireless communication network cell when the wireless device begins the handover process, the communication for the bearer being established using the first QoS profile but corresponding to a second QoS level different from the first QoS level.

A base station configured to communicate with a core network, the core network configuring a quality of service, QoS, level for a wireless communication network bearer corresponding to a wireless device by assigning a first QoS profile to the bearer when the wireless device is in a first QoS region served by a first wireless communication network cell, the first QoS profile corresponding to a first QoS level available in the first wireless communication network cell but not available to the wireless device in a second wireless communication network cell neighboring the first wireless communication network cell, the base station comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory storing instructions that, when executed, configure the processor to:
• establish communication for the bearer between the wireless device and the second wireless communication network cell when the wireless device begins a handover process with the second wireless communication network cell, the communication for the bearer being established using the first QoS profile but corresponding to a second QoS level different from the first QoS level.
