This document discusses providing quality of service (QoS) assurance in a hybrid wireless-broadband over power lines network. It defines next generation networks as those with multiple broadband technologies and defines two conditions for classifying broadband powerline (BPL) networks as next generation: 1) supporting differentiated QoS and 2) heterogeneous network interfaces. It then outlines analyzing QoS in a hybrid wireless-BPL network and proposing a dynamic class-selection module to map QoS parameters between the different technologies.
