Abstract

With the evolution of QoS-capable 3G wireless networks, the wireless community has been increasingly looking for a framework that can provide effective network-independent end-to-end QoS control. In this article we first construct such a framework and then describe how dynamic SLA-based control can be used to achieve end-to-end QoS in a wired and wireless (UMTS) environment. The proposed framework, which is an extension to the IST CADENUS project, offers effective wired-wireless QoS translation, efficient QoS control and management, and dynamic SLA policy-based QoS provisioning.
