Transmission of information relating to a quality of service

A device comprising:

• at least one processor and at least one memory including software code the at least one memory and the software code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the device at least to:
• assemble a protocol message for use in a setup of a session, said protocol message containing information other than information relating to a quality of service, and attach information relating to a quality of service to said protocol message, wherein said information is used in a quality of service negotiation with another device;
• and,
• transmit said assembled protocol message to said other device during said setup of said session.

A network element of a network comprising:

• at least one processor and
• the at least one memory and the software code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the device at least to:
• assemble a protocol message for use in a setup of a session, said protocol message containing information other than information relating to a quality of service;
• attach information relating to a quality of service to said message, wherein said information relating to a quality of service is used in a quality of service negotiation with a device accessing said network;
• and
• transmit a protocol message assembled by said assembling, component to said device during said setup of said session.

A device comprising:

• at least one processor and
• at least one memory including software code
• the at least one memory and the software code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the device at least to:
• assemble a protocol message for use in a setup of a session, said protocol message containing information other than information relating to a quality of service, and attach information relating to a quality of service to said message, wherein said information relating to a quality of service is used in a quality of service negotiation during said setup of said session with another device.

A method of transmitting information relating to a quality of service, which information is to be transmitted in at least one direction between a first device and a second device, said method comprising at least at one of said devices:

• assembling a protocol message for use in a setup of a session between said first device and said second device, said protocol message containing information other than said information relating, to a quality of service
• forming said information relating to a quality of service inside at least one of a header field and an attribute of said protocol message, wherein said information is used in a quality of service negotiation;
• and,
• transmitting said protocol message to the respective other one of said-first device and said second device during said setup of said session.

A device comprising:

• at least one processor and
• at least one memory including software code
• the at least one memory and the software code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the device at least to:
• assemble a protocol message for use in a setup of a session with another device, the protocol message containing information other than said information relating to a quality of service;
• assemble information relating to a quality of service inside at least one of a header field and an attribute of the protocol message, wherein the information relating, to a quality of service is used in a quality of service negotiation;
• and
• transmit said protocol message to said other device during said setup of said session.

A network element of a network comprising:

• a first assembling component for forming a protocol message for use in a setup of session with another device, the protocol message containing information other than information relating to a quality of service;
• a second assembling component for forming information relating to a quality of service inside at least one of a header field and an attribute of the protocol message, wherein the information is used in a quality of service negotiation;
• and
• a transmitting component for transmitting the protocol message provided by said second assembling component to said other device during said setup of said session.

A device for transmitting information relating to a quality of service, which information is to be transmitted in at least one direction between a first device and a second device, at least at one of said devices comprising:

• means for assembling a protocol message for use in a setup of a session, the first protocol message containing information other than said information relating to a quality of service;
• means for attaching information relating to a quality of service to the protocol message, wherein information is used in a quality of service negotiation;
• and
• means for transmitting said protocol message to the respective other one of said first device and said second device during said setup of said session.

A device for transmitting information relating to a quality of service, which information is to be transmitted in at least one direction between a first device and a second device, at least at one of said devices comprising:

• means for forming a protocol message used in a setup of a session, the protocol message containing information other than information relating to a quality of service;
• means for forming said information relating to a quality of service inside at least one of a header field and an attribute of the protocol message, wherein the information relating to a quality of service is used in a quality of service negotiation;
• and
• means for transmitting said protocol message to the respective other one of said first device and said second device during said setup of said session.

A method of transmitting information relating to a quality of service experience by at least one of a first device and a second device in a wireless network, which information is to be transmitted in at least one direction between said first device and said second device, said method comprising at least at one of said devices:

• assembling a protocol message for use in a setup of a session, the first protocol message containing information other than information relating to a quality of service experience by at least one of said first device and said second device;
• attaching said information relating to a quality of service experience by at least one of said first device and said second device to said protocol message, wherein said information relating to a quality of service is used in a negotiation of quality of service;
• and
• transmitting said protocol message to the respective other one of said first device and said second device over said wireless network during said setup of said session.
