Quality of service management method and apparatus
Embodiments of this application relate to the field of communication technologies, and provide a quality of service management method and an apparatus, to adjust a QoS parameter in real time based on a status of a radio network resource, to therefore maximize utilization of radio resources. Specifically, a first network element receives a QoS parameter request sent by a second network element, where the QoS parameter request is for requesting a QoS parameter. The first network element determines a first QoS parameter based on at least one of service requirement information of a user, attribute information of the user, and a radio network resource of the second network element. The first network element sends the first QoS parameter to the second network element, to enable the second network element to allocate a radio network resource based on the first QoS parameter.
