QoS Profile in Mobile Networks

QoS profile (Quality of Service profile) refers to a set of parameters that define the quality of service characteristics for a specific network connection. It determines how the network will handle and prioritise different types of traffic, ensuring that certain applications or services receive the desired level of performance.

Mobile network operators typically configures QoS profile based on the services or applications. This ensures that critical or time-sensitive applications receive the necessary Quality of Service treatment.

    What is an ‘EPS Bearer’ in LTE ?

    During 'LTE attach' procedure, the network establishes this EPS Bearer between the UE and the PGW. The PGW assigns an IP address for this Bearer. The UE uses this IP address, in order to communicate with the PDN. In addition, the PGW assigns a QoS for this Bearer, which guarantees the QoS for the data…

    QoS ‘Quality of Service’ in GPRS

    QoS refers to 'Quality of Service'. After 'PDP context activation' procedure completes, a 'PDP context' shall exist on the MS, the SGSN, and the GGSN. In addition, the GGSN assigns a QoS for this 'PDP context'. This QoS describes the priority that the nodes shall give to traffic belonging to this 'PDP context'. The subscription…
