During an initial sending and receiving of QoS parameters between a QoS-based application and a data stack controller of a mobile terminal, the parameters are stored to a data stack of the mobile terminal. The parameters are used in an initial negotiation between the data stack controller and a base station. Subsequent re-negotiations of parameters between the data stack controller and other base stations does not require any subsequent re-sending and re-receiving of QoS parameters between the application and the data stack controller as any subsequent re-negotiations are implemented by retrieving the parameters from the data stack. As such, the application is kept blind of later re-negotiations between the data stack controller and base stations and continues its operation without disruption even during re-negotiations at handoffs between QoS and non-QoS aware base stations as the application receives QoS support during operation or operates under the best effort conditions.
