Policy-based QoS Control Architecture Model using API for Streaming Services

Recently, 3GPP introduced QoS control architecture model to support QoS-enabled multimedia services such as VoIP. This model would be appropriate to apply the peer-to-peer services so that the procedure for the session establishment is quite a complicate to provide the connectivity between two parties. This paper proposes the QoS control architecture model using API for the support of streaming services, which is client-server service type. It is different from the peer-to-peer service type of VoIP. The paper will show the effectiveness and the simplicity of the proposed model to support streaming service. In addition either a Network operator or a (3rd party) service provider could own the streaming service server so that service openness may be easily achieved.
