Abstract
Systems and methods for allocating quality of service (QoS) to real-time communication sessions between user equipment via a communication network are provided. Such systems and methods include identifying an encoding scheme to be used for the communication session, determining a QoS requirement for the communication session based upon the encoding scheme, and determining whether a general communication channel (e.g., a non-GBR channel) of the network meets the QoS requirement. When the general communication channel meets the QoS requirement, a corresponding bearer is used for the communication session. When the general communication channel does not meet the QoS requirement, a bearer associated with a dedicated communication channel (e.g., a GBR channel) is used. Thus, communication sessions using higher quality encoding schemes may be established through general communication channels, reducing congestion in dedicated communication channels.
