Abstract
A wireless user equipment (UE) may include a reservation setup protocol (RSVP) message generator. The RSVP message generator may be configured to generate a RSVP message to a communication peer via a network that includes at least one router for reserving resources along a path. The RSVP PATH message may include a bi-directional direction indicator, an address of at least one router, and at least one of an indication of a peak data rate, token bucket rate, or maximum packet size. The message may provide an indication for reservation of bi-directional communication resources, wherein the bi-directional communication resources include resources in a direction from the device and in a direction toward the device. The UE may also include an RSVP message receiver configured to receive a refresh message, wherein the resources along the path are maintained upon receipt of the refresh message. The refresh message may be received periodically.
