Tutorial proposal: QoS in the Next Generation Networks
The "best effort" Internet delivery cannot be used for the new multimedia applications. New technologies and new standards are necessary to offer Quality of Service (QoS) for these multimedia applications. Therefore new communication architectures integrate mechanisms allowing to guarantee QoS services as well as high rate for the communications. The focused tutorial introduce the following subject categories: QoS in heterogeneous networks, for wireless and mobile and in WAN.
