Abstract
One aspect pertains to a method of enabling an Evolved Packet Core (EPC) network to implement predetermined Quality of Service (QoS) resource policies applied to subscriber/service groups operating via the network. The method comprises receiving a request for QoS resources to be provided to a bearer for traffic of a user of a subscriber/service group from which the request originated. A Resource Class (RC) parameter is assigned to the request. The RC parameter identifies a resource partition and the originating subscriber/service group, A Gx-Request that includes the RC parameter is forwarded to the EPC network to invoke application of the requested QoS resources so as to establish a bearer in accordance with the predetermined policies identifiable from the RC. Other aspects pertain to EPC network nodes configured accordingly.
