Abstract:
A provisioning system may receive requests, such as from third party service providers, to provision dedicated bearers for traffic associated with the service providers. For example, a service provider may request a particular quality of service (“QoS”) level for traffic sent between the service provider and one or more user devices. This QoS level may be higher than a “normal” QoS level that is ordinarily provided. The provisioning system may establish a bearer, such as a dedicated non-guaranteed bitrate (“non-GBR”) bearer between a packet data network (“PDN”) gateway (“PGW”) and the user device, and may transmit traffic, associated with the service provider, via the dedicated non-GBR bearer. A QoS agent, installed at the user device, may ensure that traffic, associated with the service provider, is sent from the user device via the dedicated non-GBR bearer (e.g., as opposed to another bearer with a lower QoS level).
