Abstract
This paper describes the ongoing research in IETF on the QoS policy control schemes in the Internet, in particular for Quality of Service (QoS) in IP based mobile networks. The paper gives a general introduction to policy control and then discusses special requirements for policy control in mobile networks. A policy control framework, which matches these requirements, is presented. A detailed analysis and description of the protocols used in the policy control framework is given, followed by some usage examples.
