LTE QoS: Fundamental Need
Why QoS?
• Finite network resources
– Radio spectrum limited
– Backhaul bandwidth limited
– Network congestion has to be managed
• Users (applications) need a variety of services
– Guaranteed bit rate (voice)
– High speed throughput (video)
– Priority service (emergency call)
Policy Management
• Operator control over network usage
• Control the level of service provided and charge accordingly
– Superior performance for the customers that pay for it
– Enforce limits or restrictions based on customer subscription
– Dynamic service level adjustment enhances QoE
– Offer attractive options to gain market share
– Restrict content based on subscription or local laws

Agenda – QoS Specifics
Control Plane
• Admission control maintains information about all available
resources of a network entity and takes decision to allow a
new session or not based on the current resource usage.
• Subscription Control checks whether or not a user is entitled
to use the requested service with the specified QoS attributes
• Service Management coordinates the functions of the control
plane entities during setup, modification and deletion of the
EPS bearers
• Translation function converts between the EPC QoS
parameters the various protocols for service control of
interfacing external networks e.g., UMTS to IP QoS parameters
mapping
User Plane
• Mapping function provides each data unit with the specific
marking required to receive the intended QoS at the transfer
by a bearer service, e.g., DSCP marking at the PDN-GW
• Classification function assigns data units to the established
services of a user according to the related QoS attributes if
the user has multiple bearer services established
• Resource Manager distributes the available resources
between all services sharing the same resource based on the
QoS, e.g., scheduling, bandwidth management, and power
control for the radio bearers
• Traffic Shaping provides conformance between the
negotiated QoS for a service and the arriving data traffic
