In this paper, an end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) framework for streaming services in 3G mobile networks is considered. A solution based on a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) hosted multimedia streaming service is studied to avoid accessing through an external IP packet data network (IP-PDN) to streaming services. Under this scenario, the interaction between UMTS and IETF protocols and mechanisms for a streaming session is analyzed. By signaling flowcharts, it is shown that both groups of protocols and mechanisms can co-operate to provide seamless end-to-end real-time services. As a part of the proposed framework, it is presented a Radio Resource Management (RRM) scheme for the support of streaming services over GSM/EDGE Radio Access Network (GERAN) based 3G mobile networks.
