Abstract
In order to effectively deliver traffic from different applications, providing end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) is critical in Long Term Evolution (LTE) networks. Mobility requires special handling of QoS enforcement rules and methods. The LTE QoS Signaling (LQSIG) protocol presented in this paper will allow ensuring resource reservation before using a data path. Operation of the proposed protocol in different mobility scenarios is also explained. The key features of the protocol includes LTE QoS model mapping to QSPEC objects used in reservation and interworking with mobility protocols in the LTE protocol stack, especially with Radio Resource Control (RRC). The basics of an analytical model is proposed in order to determine the blocking probability at the bottlenecks of LTE network.
