## Abstract

It is provided a method comprising monitoring if a reservation request is received from a controller, wherein the reservation request requests to reserve resources for a data session having a first quality of service; translating the reservation request into a request for providing a data session of a wireless network having a requested quality of service corresponding to the first quality of service if the reservation request is received; forwarding the request for providing the data session to the wireless network; translating an indication of a provided quality of service of the data session comprised in a response to the request for providing the data session received from the wireless network into an indication of a reserved quality of service corresponding to the provided quality of service; responding to the reservation request by a reservation response; wherein the reservation response comprises the indication of the reserved quality of service.

## Claims

### Claim 1

(canceled)

### Claim 2

(canceled)

### Claim 3

An apparatus, comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one memory including computer program code;
the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
monitor if a reservation request is received from a controller, wherein the reservation request requests to reserve resources for a data session having a first quality of service;
translate the reservation request into a request for providing a data session of a wireless network having a requested quality of service corresponding to the first quality of service if the reservation request is received;
forward the request for providing the data session to the wireless network;
translate an indication of a provided quality of service of the data session comprised in a response to the request for providing the data session received from the wireless network into an indication of a reserved quality of service corresponding to the provided quality of service; and
respond to the reservation request by a reservation response; wherein
the reservation response comprises the indication of the reserved quality of service.

### Claim 4

An apparatus, comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one memory including computer program code;
the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
predict that a bridge provides a predicted quality of service for a stream through the bridge based on at least one of settings related to previous streams through the bridge and network planning information; and
inform the bridge on the predicted quality of service.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the memory and computer program code are
further configured to instruct the bridge to reserve a resource corresponding to the predicted quality of service, and
instruct the bridge to not reserve a resource corresponding to the predicted quality of service.

### Claim 6 (depends on 4)

The apparatus according to claim 4, the memory and computer program code are further configured to:
store configuration information of the bridge, wherein,
according to the configuration information, the bridge comprises one or more translators, a core network of a wireless network, a radio access network of the wireless network, a plurality of terminals of the wireless network, and a plurality of translator clients;
according to the configuration information, each of the translator clients is related to a respective one of the plurality of terminals;
according to the configuration information, the stream through the bridge passes through one of one or more translators, the core network, the radio network, one of the terminals, and one of the translator clients;
wherein the memory and computer program code are further configured to
predict, for each of the terminals, a respective predicted quality of service provided by the bridge for a respective stream through the respective terminal based on at least one of settings related to previous streams through the respective terminal and the network planning information;
group some terminals of the plurality of terminals into a group, wherein differences or quotients between the predicted qualities of service for any two of the terminals of the group are within a predetermined range;
determine a group predicted quality of service based on the predicted qualities of service of the terminals of the group; and
each of the one or more translators on the group predicted quality of service for the terminals of the group.

### Claim at position 7

-10. (canceled)

### Claim 11

A method, comprising:
monitoring if a reservation request is received from a controller, wherein the reservation request requests to reserve resources for a data session having a first quality of service;
translating the reservation request into a request for providing a data session of a wireless network having a requested quality of service corresponding to the first quality of service if the reservation request is received;
forwarding the request for providing the data session to the wireless network;
translating an indication of a provided quality of service of the data session comprised in a response to the request for providing the data session received from the wireless network into an indication of a reserved quality of service corresponding to the provided quality of service; and
responding to the reservation request by a reservation response;
wherein
the reservation response comprises the indication of the reserved quality of service.

### Claim 12

A method, comprising:
predicting that a bridge provides a predicted quality of service for a stream through the bridge based on at least one of settings related to previous streams through the bridge and network planning information; and
informing the bridge on the predicted quality of service.

### Claim 13 (depends on 12)

The method according to claim 12, wherein one of
the informing comprises instructing the bridge to reserve a resource corresponding to the predicted quality of service, and
the informing comprises instructing the bridge to not reserve a resource corresponding to the predicted quality of service.

### Claim 14 (depends on 12)

The method according to claim 12, further comprising
storing configuration information of the bridge, wherein,
according to the configuration information, the bridge comprises one or more translators, a core network of a wireless network, a radio access network of the wireless network, a plurality of terminals of the wireless network, and a plurality of translator clients;
according to the configuration information, each of the translator clients is related to a respective one of the plurality of terminals;
according to the configuration information, the stream through the bridge passes through one of one or more translators, the core network, the radio network, one of the terminals, and one of the translator clients;
the predicting comprises predicting, for each of the terminals, a respective predicted quality of service provided by the bridge for a respective stream through the respective terminal based on at least one of settings related to previous streams through the respective terminal and the network planning information; and the method further comprises
grouping some terminals of the plurality of terminals into a group, wherein differences or quotients between the predicted qualities of service for any two of the terminals of the group are within a predetermined range;
determining a group predicted quality of service based on the predicted qualities of service of the terminals of the group; wherein
the informing comprises informing each of the one or more translators on the group predicted quality of service for the terminals of the group.
