Abstract
Access network discovery and selection function (ANDSF) policies are extended to include a wireless local area network quality of service (Qos) parameter in order to create a ANDSF based QoS. This may be used by user equipment to set the uplink 802.1 1e User Priority (UP) for offloaded or evolved packet core-routed WiFi traffic.
Claims20
A user equipment comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory coupled with the processor, the memory having stored thereon executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising:
- storing a first wireless local area network (WLAN) quality of service (QoS) policy for data using an uplink of the user equipment;
- receiving a second WLAN QoS policy from a server for the data using the uplink of the user equipment, wherein the second WLAN QoS policy is based on a location of an access point within a trusted WLAN access network (TWAN);
- determining a third WLAN QoS policy for the data using the uplink of the user equipment, the third policy based on at least one of the first WLAN QoS policy and the second WLAN QoS policy;
- providing the data to the TWAN based on the third WLAN QoS policy;
- and
- providing the third WLAN QoS policy to the TWAN for data using a downlink or an uplink of an access point (AP) of the TWAN.

A computer readable storage medium comprising computer executable instructions that when executed by a computing device cause said computing device to perform the instructions comprising:
- receiving a second wireless local area network (WLAN) quality of service (QoS) policy from a server for the data using the uplink of a user equipment;
- determining a third WLAN QoS policy for the data using the uplink of the user equipment, the third policy based on at least one of a first WLAN QoS policy for data using an uplink of the user equipment and the second WLAN QoS policy, wherein the second WLAN QoS policy is based on a location of an access point within a trusted WLAN access network (TWAN);
- providing the data to the TWAN based on the third WLAN QoS policy;
- and
- providing the third WLAN QoS policy to the TWAN for data using a downlink or an uplink of an access point (AP) of the TWAN.
2 more elements
A method comprising
- receiving, by a user equipment, a second wireless local area network (WLAN) quality of service (QoS) policy from a server for the data using the uplink of the user equipment;
- determining, by the user equipment, a third WLAN QoS policy for the data using the uplink of the user equipment, the third policy based on at least one of a first WLAN QoS policy for data using an uplink of the user equipment and the second WLAN QoS policy, wherein the second WLAN QoS policy is based on a location of an access point within a trusted WLAN access network (TWAN);
- providing, by the user equipment, the data to the TWAN based on the third WLAN QoS policy;
- and
- providing, by the user equipment, the third WLAN QoS policy to the TWAN for data using a downlink or an uplink of an access point (AP) of the TWAN.
