Abstract

Fourth generation (4G) wireless networks aim at supporting various multiservice applications over IP architectures which satisfy enhanced users demands through innovative services of increased Quality of Service (QoS). QoS can be assured through independent optimal design of network components or by optimizing interoperability. The supported services impose also their classification into IP network service models and their specifications description. The integration of different wireless access technologies into the 4G network architecture leads to a heterogeneous network environment that raises several issues. An overview of various approaches employed to provide QoS in 4G networks concerning their architectures, different access technologies interoperability and resource management techniques are investigated in this chapter. Dynamic resource allocation, admission control, QoS provision using mobile management and pricing policies are presented. Concluding, in the demanding 4G environment under variable network conditions, appropriate schemes and architectures may provide a robust network management tool for QoS provision and efficient resource utilization.
