A DSCP-Based Method of QoS Class Mapping between WLAN and EPS Network

In recent years the developments of wireless and mobile networks are particularly prominent. In order to provide users with better services over these heterogeneous networks, QoS needs to be considered. In this paper, we analyze the QoS features of LTE and WLAN respectively. Then we propose a DSCP-based method of QoS class mapping between WLAN and EPS network, and simulate the QoS class mapping method in OPNET. By analyzing the experiments, we consider that this method is feasible and effective. Finally we present the conclusion.
