A method provides service quality in a WiMAX communication network, and a method selects an access transport resource control function by a guideline decision-making function in a communication network. According to a method for providing service quality on an air interface of an access network in a WiMAX communication network by an application function, the application function aims to provide a user of the WiMAX communication network with a service quality-related application. The desired service quality is signaled by an authentication, authorization and accounting infrastructure of the WiMAX communication network.

The present invention relates to a method for maintaining continuity of Diameter online charging. The method comprises the following steps: a) initializing, when a user is moving, the relocation of a prepayment client terminal from an old prepayment client terminal to a new prepayment client terminal, and implementing the re-authentication of a mobile station at the new prepayment client terminal; b) transmitting the context information of an old Diameter online charging session from the old prepayment client terminal to the new prepayment client terminal after the re-authentication has been successfully completed; c) transmitting an initial credit control request (CCR) message comprising the identification of the old Diameter online charging session from the new prepayment client terminal to a prepayment server for continuing the old Diameter online charging session, and request for a quota by a prepayment proxy to the prepayment server via the new prepayment client terminal; and d) disconnecting the old connection between the old prepayment client terminal and the prepayment server.
