FIELD: information technology.

SUBSTANCE: quality-of-service information provides details related to data packets, including delay information. A data packet header may be analysed to determine a portion capable of retaining quality-of-service information, wherein that portion of the packet header was not previously used to transmit information, and said quality-of-service information is suitable for transmission to a base station. The quality-of-service information is compressed and placed into the identified portion. The header is transmitted to a base station, where the quality-of-service information is restored after decompression, read, and modification of operations occurs as a function of the quality-of-service information.

EFFECT: reduced additional load and errors due to evaluation of quality-of-service information in a mobile device.
