Abstract: A method and device for hosting an application by an access node which provides network access to a terminal in a mobile communication system are provided. The method includes receiving a request packet for a service request from a user application of a mobile terminal, delivering the request packet to an application included in the access node, if a destination of the request packet corresponds to the application of the access node, providing a service to the user application of the mobile terminal through the application, and delivering the request packet to a corresponding public application on an external network, if the application corresponding to the destination of the request packet does not exist in the access node.

Abstract: Disclosed is a Quality-of-Service (QoS) Support method in a mobile communication system including an access terminal, an access network for performing packet data communication with the access terminal, a packet control function for controlling transmission and reception of packet data between the access network and the access terminal, and a packet data service node for exchanging packet data with the packet control function. The access terminal maps a requirement based on an application characteristic to an IP QoS parameter, generates a resource reservation protocol message, and transmits the resource reservation protocol message to the packet data service node. The packet data service node maps IP QoS information to be transmitted to the access terminal to QoS information needed in the access network, and transmits the mapping result to the access network via the packet control function.

Abstract: A method for controlling power of a shared forward link data channel for multicasting in a mobile communication system. The method includes the steps of initializing a virtual gain for each mobile terminal with which the shared forward link data channel is established, receiving power control request information from each mobile terminal to adjust the virtual gain of each mobile terminal, selecting a largest virtual gain among the adjusted virtual gains as a control power value of the shared forward link data channel, and regulating the power of the shared forward link data channel to the selected control power value.

Abstract: Disclosed is an accounting system and method based on network service quality in a mobile communication system. The system and method for controlling accounting according to quality of service (QoS) information of a packet data service system, comprises allocating by a packet data service node QoS based on QoS profiles transmitted from an authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) server and setting by the packet data service node a service instance which is able to differentiate applications according to QoS levels, the packet data service node having received the QoS information requested to be set from a mobile station, and after service is started, adding by the packet data service node the allocated QoS information to accounting information including information regarding an amount of packet data transmitted to the mobile station so as to transmit the allocated QoS information to the AAA server.
