The communication world is changing. In the last years, quicker access networks and multimedia applications are used more and more frequently by the end-users, who expect to receive QoS guarantees. In this context, the communication networks must take into account the QoS desired by users and/or applications and the ability of the system resources to provide it. It needs to found a way to map the quality of service perceived and desired by the end-user and the network-level QoS parameters. In this paper, we show the benefits (and limitations) of the use of the fuzzy logic in the QoS mapping process and we present QoSFM (QoS Fuzzy-mapping) system. Basing on QoSFM, we make a complete study of implementation of a fuzzy logic controller. Finally, we apply this controller to the ComUNITY Access System from Com21, which is a cablemodem communication system based on ATM in order to offer QoS guarantees to the end-users via the HFC network.
