Methods, apparatuses and systems directed to the dynamic configuration of
QoS policy for sessions in wireless network environments. Certain
embodiments of the present invention feature the transparent processing
of session initiation messages associated with wireless clients and the
dynamic configuration of QoS policy for the wireless clients having no
QoS configuration mechanism. In certain embodiments, the dynamic QoS
configuration mechanism is transparent to the wireless clients, requiring
no QoS functionality to reside on the wireless clients. Certain
embodiments of the present invention transparently process SIP messages
to dynamically configure QoS policy for the resulting sessions. As
discussed below, the dynamic QoS configuration functionality described
herein can be applied to a variety of wireless network system
architectures.
