Abstract
A manner of enhancing QoS when facilitating remote access to a home network. An HA in the home network is provided with QoS parameters, for example when registering with an SG (signaling gateway), which parameters include a bandwidth allocation for communications via a network. These parameters may be dictated, for example, but an OSS/BSS associated with the network. The HA then determines the bandwidth requirement for each application request it receives, and compares it with the bandwidth allocation of the QoS parameters. Execution of applications that do not exceed the bandwidth allocation is permitted, while execution of others are rejected, at least until agreement to proceed at a lower bandwidth is obtained or currently executing applications are re-prioritized. The bandwidth allocation may be adjusted while applications are executing so that available bandwidth may be used to determine how to respond to future application requests.
