Extending a QoS indicator through WLAN to an electronic device in a heterogeneous network

1. A method comprising:

receiving, at a second wireless network, a packet from a first wireless network including a first quality of service (QoS) indicator for a first protocol of the first wireless network, wherein the first QoS indicator indicates a traffic requirement for the packet;

determining a second quality of service (QoS) indicator for a second protocol of the second wireless network based on the first QoS indicator and network conditions of the second wireless network, wherein the second QoS indicator is determined as a first value sufficient to meet the traffic requirement when the network conditions include a first traffic condition and the second QoS indicator is determined as a second value sufficient to meet the traffic requirement when the network conditions include a second traffic condition; and

transmitting the packet in accordance with the second QoS indicator in order to meet the traffic requirement.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein a profile scheduler schedules transmitting the packet in accordance with the second QoS indicator.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first wireless network includes a core cellular network.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first QoS indicator indicates a use case and/or business model associated with the first wireless network.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first QoS indicator indicates a service level agreement (SLA) value associated with the first wireless network.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the SLA value includes at least one of a bandwidth level, loss level and/or latency level.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first QoS indicator indicates a quality of service class identifier (QcI) value associated with the first wireless network.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second QoS indicator includes a coarse parameter and a fine parameter.

9. A system comprising:

an arbitrator configured to:

receive, at a second wireless network, a packet from a first wireless network including a first quality of service (QoS) indicator for a first protocol of the first wireless network, wherein the first QoS indicator indicates a traffic requirement for the packet;

determine a second quality of service (QoS) indicator for a second protocol of the second wireless network based on the first QoS indicator and network conditions of the second wireless network, wherein the second QoS indicator is determined as a first value sufficient to meet the traffic requirement when the network conditions include a first traffic condition and the second QoS indicator is determined as a second value sufficient to meet the traffic requirement when the network conditions include a second traffic condition; and

transmit the packet in accordance with the second QoS indicator in order to meet the traffic requirement.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the arbitrator includes a profile scheduler configured to transmit the packet in accordance with the second QoS indicator.

11. The system of claim 9 , wherein the first QoS indicator indicates a use case and/or business model associated with the first wireless network.

12. The system of claim 9 , wherein the first QoS indicator indicates a service level agreement (SLA) value associated with the first wireless network.

13. The system of claim 9 , wherein the first QoS indicator indicates a quality of service class identifier (QcI) value associated with the first wireless network.

14. The system of claim 9 , wherein the second QoS indicator includes a coarse parameter and a fine parameter.

15. A non-transitory memory storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions, which, when executed by one or more processors of a networking device, cause the networking device to:

receive, at a second wireless network, a packet from a first wireless network including a first quality of service (QoS) indicator for a first protocol of the first wireless network wherein the first QoS indicator indicates a traffic requirement for the packet;

determine a second quality of service (QoS) indicator for a second protocol of the second wireless network based on the first QoS indicator and network conditions of the second wireless network, wherein the second QoS indicator is determined as a first value sufficient to meet the traffic requirement when the network conditions include a first traffic condition and the second QoS indicator is determined as a second value sufficient to meet the traffic requirement when the network conditions include a second traffic condition; and

transmit the packet in accordance with the second QoS indicator in order to meet the traffic requirement.

16. The non-transitory memory of claim 15 , wherein the instructions cause the networking device to transmit the packet in accordance with the second QoS indicator based on profile scheduling.

17. The non-transitory memory of claim 15 , wherein the first QoS indicator indicates a use case and/or business model associated with the first wireless network.

18. The non-transitory memory of claim 15 , wherein the first QoS indicator indicates a service level agreement (SLA) value associated with the first wireless network.

19. The non-transitory memory of claim 15 , wherein the first QoS indicator indicates a quality of service class identifier (QcI) value associated with the first wireless network.

20. The non-transitory memory of claim 15 , wherein the second QoS indicator includes a coarse parameter and a fine parameter.
