Abstract

The fast adoption of IP-based communications for hand-held devices equipped with wireless interfaces is creating new challenges for the Internet evolution. Users expect flexible access to Internet based services, including not only traditional data services but also multimedia applications. This generates a new challenge for QoS provision, as it will have to deal with fast mobility of terminals being independent of the technology of the access network. Various QoS architectures have been defined, but none provides full support for guaranteed service levels for mobile hosts. This paper discusses the problems related to providing QoS to mobile hosts and identifies the existing solutions and future work needed.

This work has been performed in the framework of the IST project IST-1999-10050 BRAIN, which is partly funded by the European Union. The authors would like to acknowledge the contributions of their colleagues from Siemens AG, British Telecommunications PLC, Agora Systems S.A., Ericsson Radio Systems AB, France - CNET, INRIA, King’s College London, Nokia Corporation, NTT DoCoMo, Sony International (Europe) GmbH, and T-Nova Deutsche Telekom Innovations-gesellschaft mbH.
