In this research, we first address the QoS issue in different levels of wireless multimedia networks, and present a generic QoS framework to meet the requirements of different applications and services adaptively. Then, we focus on the connection-level QoS, measured by the connection blocking and dropping probabilities. A service model consisting of three service classes designed for connection-level QoS provisioning is proposed. The underlying network of consideration employs different call admission control and resource reservation schemes to allocate resources adaptively to each service class according to their haracteristics and requirements. The system is analyzed by a multi-dimensional model. Simulations are conducted based on the model analysis to evaluate the system performance.
