Tomaintainreliableperformancefor
real-time applications, such as voice
over IP and video, the Alcatel-Lucent
WiMAXsolutionmanagesQoSdy-
namically,withtrafcprioritization
acrossallnetworklevels.Starting
with the request from the end-user
device, each network level commu-
nicates with the others to determine
therequiredQoSlevelforthesession.
Thenitdynamicallychecksthenetwork
resources available, based on the
rights of the subscriber. And finally,
packets are tagged accordingly, estab-
lishingend-to-endows.Theresultis

of 4.1 out of 5.0 in urban field deploy-
ments – a higher level of quality than
