Scheduling transmissions of adaptive bitrate streaming flows

A method, comprising:

• determining, by an apparatus, a target flow rate of an adaptive bitrate streaming flow;
• determining, by the apparatus, a measured flow rate of the adaptive bitrate streaming flow;
• determining, by the apparatus for a wireless end device associated with the adaptive bitrate streaming flow based on a determination that the measured flow rate does not satisfy the target flow rate, whether the adaptive bitrate streaming flow is associated with a variable channel condition;
• determining, by the apparatus for the wireless end device based on a determination that the adaptive bitrate streaming flow is associated with a variable channel condition, a signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio (SINR) associated with the adaptive bitrate streaming flow;
• and
• determining, by the apparatus based on the SINR associated with the adaptive bitrate streaming flow, whether to modify a priority of the adaptive bitrate streaming flow.

An apparatus, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory including computer program code;
• wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to at least:
• determine a target flow rate of an adaptive bitrate streaming flow;
• determine a measured flow rate of the adaptive bitrate streaming flow;
• determine, for a wireless end device associated with the adaptive bitrate streaming flow based on a determination that the measured flow rate does not satisfy the target flow rate, whether the wireless end device is in a steady channel condition or a variable channel condition;
• determine, based on a determination that the wireless end device is in a steady channel condition, whether the wireless end device is in a good channel condition or a bad channel condition;
• and
• modify a priority of the adaptive bitrate streaming flow based on the determination as to whether the wireless end device is in a good channel condition or a bad channel condition.
