ABSTRACT
This paper presents an overview of a hierarchical Re-
source Management architecture for future mobile com-
munications systems. The architecture is designed to be
generic and can therefore be adopted for a range of Ra-
dio Access Methodologies. In particular it provides a
mechanism for radio resource management across air-
interfaces such as those being defined for use with
UMTS. Given the move towards packet-switched tech-
nologies both in the Core Network and the Radio Access
Network [1], the architecture embraces the concept of
statistical QoS applied to individual flows in the form of
a commitment level.
