The service quality of multimedia communication system, which satisfied the user application requirement into communication system is quality of service it is a concept foe specifying how “good “the offered, networking services are. QOS can be characterized some of them are:

1. QOS layering: 

The multimedia communication system consists of three layers application, system (including communication service and OS service) and devices ( network and multimedia devices) given the applying may or might not reside an individual's user that's QOS of those 3 layers influence the standard of service of multimedia communication systems(MCS). 

2. Service object: 

Service is performed on various object as media sources, media sinks, connections and virtual circuits (VCS). QOS parameterization specific these service objects. 

3. QOS description: 

it's meant for service and processing a transport or network connection, it includes 3 parameters: 

a) Application QOS parameter: 

It describes the wants for the applying services laid out in terms of media quality and media relations.

b) System QOS parameters: 

It describes requirement on communication services and OS service in term of bits per second, number of errors processing time, size etc.

c) Network QOS parameters: 

Describes requirements a network service in terms of network traffic (load) and network performance

4. QOS parameters value and types of services:

Quality of service
It determines a type of service on the basic of connection less and connection oriented services they are:

a. Guaranteed: 

Provide QOS guaranteed by single value (target value or average value) or a pair of values (mean and average value/ lowest quality and target quality).

b. Predictable service (historical service): 

It based on past network behavior by matching past service quality, predicts current QOS.

c. Best effort service: 



it is based on either guarantees or on partial guarantees most of the current networks protocol have best effort services.
