Abstract
In the past few years, it's observed that cellular operators have experienced a fast growth of mobile broadband subscribers and traffic volume per subscriber. Simultaneously, operators are moving from a single to a multi-service offering by adding new services. This chapter presents a survey of the Quality of Service (QoS) drivers in LTE and LTE-Advanced, focusing on IP Frameworks and IP Services. It also includes a detailed list and description of the resource management mechanisms, such as power saving, admission control, scheduling and resource allocation that play a vital role in QoS. The authors describe the State-of-the-Art in IP frameworks and Services such as video, VoIP, Video on Demand (VoD). Also, resource management mechanisms are described such as Energy efficiency, admission control, and scheduling. In the end, the authors mentioned the future directions about QoS in 5G networks.
