However, one of the major issues is to support end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) across all these technologies at all stages of the service from set-up to handoff. We present, in this study, a novel method of mapping QoS of UMTS and WiMAX over a loose coupling environment across Internet Protocol/Differentiated Service (IP/DiffServ) network. © Maxwell Scientific Organization, 2014. publisher: Maxwell Science Publications date: 2014 type: Article type: PeerReviewed identifier: Ousta, F. and Kamel, N. and Yusoff, M.Z. and Ali, S.
