ABSTRACT:
A method for maintaining a quality of service in a wireless communication network is introduced. A reservation is created in a first data path between a home agent and a first foreign agent for data flow between the home agent and a wireless terminal. When the wireless terminal associates with a second foreign agent, a quality of service supportive second data path may be created between the first foreign agent and the second foreign agent. The data flow may be routed over the first and second data paths to maintain the quality of service for the data flow. A wireless communication network may include first downstream and reverse tunnels coupling a home agent and a first foreign agent, each tunnel having a reservation to maintain a quality of service. Second downstream and reverse tunnels may couple a home agent and a second foreign agent. All or part of the resources reserved by the first tunnels may be shared with the second tunnels when a wireless terminal hands over from the first foreign agent to the second foreign agent.
