Data packet prioritization for downlink transmission at sender level

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
• receiving, from a user equipment (UE), first data associated with a first data request;
• determining, based at least in part on the first data request, a Quality of Service Class Identifier (QCI) associated with the first data request;
• inputting the first data into a model to determine a first priority level associated with the first data request, wherein the model associates different priority levels with different data sources;
• sending second data indicative of the priority level to a first data source indicated by the first data;
• forwarding the first data request to the first data source in response to sending the second data to the first data source;
• receiving, based at least in part on the second data and the data request, third data from the first data source, the third data comprising a packet with a header portion comprising an indication of the first priority level;
• and
• providing, based at least in part on the first priority level, packets associated with the third data to a Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) layer of a base station, wherein the base station sends the packets to the UE in accordance with the QCI and the first priority level,
• wherein the providing comprises inputting the packets to a transmission queue based on the QCI, wherein multiple transmission queues of the base station are associated with different respective QCIs, and sorting the packets within the transmission queue based on the first priority level and on priority levels of other packets in the transmission queue, the first priority level being different than at least one of the priority levels of the other packets in the transmission queue and the other packets in the transmission queue are associated with other data request(s) received from the UE or from other UE(s).

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• receiving first data from a user equipment (UE), the first data associated with a first data request;
• determining, based at least in part on the first data request, a Quality of Service Class Identifier (QCI) associated with the first data request;
• inputting the data request to a machine learned model, wherein the machine learned model associates different priority levels with different data sources and the first data indicates a first data source by one of an application name, a process name, a unique identifier of a specific application, an Internet Protocol (IP) address, or a domain name;
• receiving, from the machine learned model, a first priority level associated with the first data request;
• sending second data indicative of the priority level to a first data source indicated by the first data;
• forwarding the first data request to the first data source in response to sending the second data to the first data source;
• receiving, based at least in part on the first data request and the second data, third data comprising a packet associated with the first priority level;
• and
• providing, based at least in part on the QCI and the first priority level, packets to a Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) layer of a base station to be sent to the UE, wherein the providing comprises inputting the packets to a transmission queue based on the QCI, wherein multiple transmission queues of the base station are associated with different respective QCIs, and sorting the packets within the transmission queue based on the first priority level and on priority levels of other packets in the transmission queue, the first priority level being different than at least one of the priority levels of the other packets in the transmission queue and the other packets in the transmission queue are associated with other data request(s) received from the UE or from other UE(s).
