Abstract: A method for managing radio resources in the radio access technologies during a handover procedure by proposing new commands primitives for the IEEE 802.21 framework. The primitives allow an application level entity, such as a Quality of Service (QoS) Manager, to enforce radio resources allocation and deletion in the access technologies, either locally or remotely, as well as to receive event notifications from the link layer technologies with the resources reservation and/or deletion result.
