In this paper we propose an integrated solution for QoS management in mobile wireless networksthat can be dynamically adapted to user requir ements and resource availability . Due to the strong variability of the environment under exam, we propose to use mobile agents as the underlying enabling technology. We propose a proactive approach that tries to satisfy the user requirements by utilizing advance resource reservations, and a reactive approach which tries to negotiate network resources when significative changes in the demand of resources arise. We also propose a combination of the two approaches in an integrated hybrid system that combines a mobility predictive advanced bandwidth reservation scheme with a call admission control and resource reconfiguration strategy to support flexible QoS management.
