Chapter 7: Quality of Service (QoS)
Configuration

Overview

The PMP 320 AP provides different quality of service (QOS) settings per the 802.16e
specification, for example, UGS, rtPS, nrtPS, and BE. The user can choose the appropriate QoS
profile based on the application needs. Motorola recommends that each QoS profile is created
with specific Maximum Information Rate (MIR) as dictated by the application needs. The
Committed Information Rate (CIR) is optional because when it is used, it consumes resources in
the radio scheduler. The PMP 320 system can support several QoS profiles (up to 256
characters) with different combinations of QoS types, MIR and CIR.
Each PMP 320 AP serves several CSMs under a given sector. Each CSM could have multiple
service flows in both UL and DL direction. Each flow is associated with a given QoS profile which
is configured based on end-user need. One CSM could have multiple flows to serve different
applications simultaneously. To differentiate multiple flows under a single CSM, PMP 320 uses
classification profiles. These classification profiles are associated with specific service flows.
Different applications, both over UL and DL can send their data using classifications which helps
CSM and AP to associate data traffic to a specific service flow with the QoS type. The PMP 320
supports the source/destination IP address, and TOS/DSCP (Diff Serve Code Point)
classifications.

Adding a QoS Profile

Using the AP GUI additional QoS profiles can be created, added, updated, or deleted by
accessing the Configuration > QoS Profile window on the AP GUI. The AP supplies the QoS
profile number 0 and 1 created by default, and is fixed. Different QoS profiles can be added as
needed.
