Background: Why we need QoS ?

There are premium subscribers who always want to have better user experience on their 4G LTE device. These users are willing to pay more for high bandwidth and better network access on their devices. Not only the subscribers but some services itself need better priority handling in the network (e.g. VoIP call). To be able to full fill this, QOS plays the key role. QOS defines priorities for certain customers / services during the time of high congestion in the network

3GPP definition for QoS

In LTE Network QoS is implemented
between UE and PDN Gateway and is applied to a set of bearers. 'Bearer'
is basically a virtual concept and is a set of network configuration to
provide special treatment to set of traffic e.g. VoIP packets
are prioritized by network compared to web browser traffic.
In LTE, QoS is applied on Radio bearer, S1 bearer and S5/S8 bearer, collectively called as EPS bearer as shown in figure below.

 
 
In order to comprehend the concept of QoS , we must understand the
bearer types and properties associated with each bearer
through hierarchical chart as shown below. First there are two types of
Bearer, i.e. Dedicated bearer and Default bearer. There is  at-least one
default bearer established when UE is attached to LTE network while
dedicated bearer is always established when there is need to provide QoS
to specific service (like VoIP, video etc). Please go through the
article Default and Dedicated Bearer which hopefully will help to explain the concept in more detail.
 
 
 
Dedicated bearer can be subdivided into Non-GBR and GBR types. 
GBR provides guaranteed bit rate and is associated with parameters like GBR and MBR
 
- GBR: The minimum guaranteed bit rate per EPS bearer. Specified independently for uplink and downlink
- MBR: The maximum guaranteed bit rate per EPS bearer. Specified independently for uplink and downlink
On the other hand, Non-GBR bearer does not provide guaranteed bit rate and has parameter like A- AMBR and UE- AMBR
 
- A-AMBR: APN Aggregate
maximum bit rate is the maximum allowed total non-GBR throughput to
specific APN. It is specified interdependently for uplink an downlink 
- UE -AMBR: UE Aggregate maximum bit rate is the maximum allowed total non-GBR throughput among all APN to a specific UE
As you can see, the default bearer
can only be non-GBR type. Some other  important terms associated with
each bearer type are discussed below:
- ARP: Allocation and
retention priority is basically used for deciding whether new bearer
modification or establishment request should be accepted considering the
current resource situation.
- TFT: Traffic flow template
is always associated with dedicated bearer and while default bearer may
or may not have TFT. As mentioned earlier, dedicated bearer provides QoS
to special service or application and TFT defines rules so that UE and
Network knows which IP packet should be sent on particular dedicated
bearer. It usually has rules on the basis of IP packet
destination/source or protocol used.
L-EBI: It stands for Linked
EPS bearer ID. As I discussed in previous article about dedicated and
default bearer, we know that each dedicated bearer is always linked to
one of default bearers. L-EBI tells Dedicated bearer which default
bearer it is attached to. 
IP Address/ PDN: Each default
bearer is attached to some PDN network and has its own IP address while
dedicated bearer does not need this since it is linked to default
bearer.
You can also see one other parameter
associated with all bearers i.e. QoS class of identifier (QCI).This
parameter basically defines IP level packets characteristics as shown
below
 
 
 
 
 
 
EXAMPLE
Let me try to explain here again with the same example I gave in Default and Dedicated Bearer section
Usually LTE networks with VoLTE implementations have two default and one dedicated bearer

Default bearer 1: Used for signaling messages (sip signaling) related to IMS network. It uses qci 5
Dedicated bearer: Used for VoLTE VoIP traffic. It uses qci 1 and is linked to default bearer 1
Default bearer 2: Used for all other smartphone traffic (video, chat, email, browser etc), assuming qci 9 is used here

This means that Default bearer 1 is
associated with IMS PDN and has specific IP address. It has throughput
limitations defined in terms of A-AMBR and UE-AMBR. Since it has qci 5
which means that its IP packets has the highest priority over other IP
packets and maximum delay as 100ms between UE and PGW with packet loss
percentage up to 10-6
Default bearer 2 is associated with
internet PDN and has specific IP. It has throughput limitations defined
in terms of A-AMBR and UE-AMBR as well. Since it has qci 9 which means
that its IP packets has the lowest priority over other IP packets and
maximum delay possible as 300ms between UE and PGW with packet loss
percentage up to 10-6
Dedicated bearer will be linked to
Default bearer 1 with L-EBI and it also has TFT which basically defines
which IP packets should be allowed to travel on this bearer. It has
throughput limitations defined in terms of MBR and GBR. Since it is
using QCI 1, the IP packets traveling on this bearer have the second
highest priority. The maximum delay possible to IP packets on this
bearer is 100 ms and the percentage of packet loss will be under 10-2
