Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for updating the quality of service (QoS) of an IP flow in a wireless communications system. More particularly, the methods and systems provide the ability to update a QoS grant from any level of QoS to any other level of QoS, from no QoS to some level of QoS, and from some level of QoS to no level of QoS. The update of QoS can be based, at least in part, on a request being made for an updated QoS. A decision is made whether or not to update the QoS; and depending on the decision, the QoS can be updated.
