Abstract: A system and method for controlling Quality of Service (QoS) in a wireless network on a per-user basis. According to the preferred embodiment, each user will have a QoS profile, listing the levels of service he is authorized to receive. The RAN assigns radio and network resources for the user, based on the applications that the user is running and the user's profile. A QoS server in the base station controller manages user QoS. When the base station controller receives a packet data call from a mobile station, the QoS profile and the application type that the mobile station is executing will be used to determine QoS parameters for the user's call.

Abstract: An apparatus and method is disclosed for selecting a handoff target base station in a wireless network. The apparatus comprises a handoff controller within a wireless mobile station that selects an optimal target base station for handoff based on pilot signal strength measurements of at least two candidate base stations and one of: a location of the wireless mobile station, a velocity of the wireless mobile station, and a direction of motion of the wireless mobile station. The present invention uses more than just pilot strength measurements to select an optimal target base station for handoff. Incorporating position location information in the handoff decision causes the handoff decision to be more reliable. This reduces the number of unnecessary handoffs and results in better system performance.
