Abstract
A wireless access node exchanges data with User Equipment (UE) over a radio band and determines a performance metric for the UE over the radio band. The wireless access node transfers the performance metric to the UE. The UE translates the performance metric into a service instruction for the radio band and transfers the service instruction to the wireless access node. The wireless access node transfers the service instruction to a network controller. The network controller modifies the wireless data service for the wireless UE over the radio band in response to the service instruction.
Claims20
A method of operating a wireless communication network to control a wireless data service for a wireless User Equipment (UE), the method comprising:
- a wireless access node wirelessly exchanging user data with the wireless UE over a radio band to deliver the wireless data service;
- the wireless access node determining a communication performance metric for the wireless UE over the radio band and wirelessly transferring the communication performance metric to the wireless UE;
- the wireless UE wirelessly receiving the communication performance metric, translating the communication performance metric into a service instruction for the radio band, and wirelessly transferring the service instruction to the wireless access node;
- the wireless access node wirelessly receiving the service instruction and transferring the service instruction to a network controller;
- and
- the network controller receiving the service instruction and modifying the wireless data service for the wireless UE over the radio band in response to the service instruction.
A wireless communication network to control a wireless data service for a wireless User Equipment (UE), the wireless communication network comprising:
- a wireless access node configured to wirelessly exchange user data with the wireless UE over a radio band to deliver the wireless data service;
- the wireless access node configured to determine a communication performance metric for the wireless UE over the radio band and wirelessly transfer the communication performance metric to the wireless UE;
- the wireless UE configured to wirelessly receive the communication performance metric, translate the communication performance metric into a service instruction for the radio band, and wirelessly transfer the service instruction to the wireless access node;
- the wireless access node configured to wirelessly receive the service instruction and transfer the service instruction to a network controller;
- and
- the network controller configured to receive the service instruction and modify the wireless data service for the wireless UE over the radio band in response to the service instruction.
