Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to a method for supporting the quality of service (QoS) in packet data transmission between a wireless communication device ( 1 ) communicating with a radio network, and an information network (LN), where data transmission between the wireless communication device ( 1 ) and the radio network ( 2 ) is controlled with at least one access point controller ( 5, 5′, 5″ ). Further, in the method, information is transmitted between the wireless communication device ( 1 ) and the access point controller ( 5, 5′, 5″ ) in radio flows. In the method, at least one radio flow is provided with a defined radio flow identification (RFID) and a quality of service (QoS).
