Abstract
Systems, methods, and apparatuses provide for collecting end-to-end (e2e) one way latency measurements and solutions for performance data streaming. The e2e performance measurements and performance data streaming (real-time performance measurements) may be used for performance assurance of 5G networks including network slicing.
Claims20
A method of a service producer in a wireless network, the method comprising:
- processing a request from an authorized service consumer to collect performance data for streaming, the request indicating a number of performance data to be reported by the streaming;
- determining whether the number of performance data to be reported reaches a predetermined limit for the streaming supported by the service producer;
- in response to the number of performance data to be reported reaching or exceeding the predetermined limit, rejecting the request;
- and
- in response to the number of performance data to be reported not reaching or exceeding the predetermined limit, creating a measurement job to collect the performance data.
An apparatus for a service producer in a wireless network, the apparatus comprising:
- a memory device to store performance data;
- and
- one or more processors configured to:
- process a request from an authorized service consumer to collect the performance data for streaming, the request indicating a number of performance data to be reported by the streaming;
- determine whether the number of performance data to be reported reaches a predetermined limit for the streaming supported by the service producer;
- in response to the number of performance data to be reported reaching or exceeding the predetermined limit, reject the request;
- and
- in response to the number of performance data to be reported not reaching or exceeding the predetermined limit, create a measurement job to collect the performance data.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that when executed by one or more processors of a service producer in a wireless network, cause the one or more processors to:
- process a request from an authorized service consumer to collect performance data for streaming, the request indicating a number of performance data to be reported by the streaming;
- determine whether the number of performance data to be reported reaches a predetermined limit for the streaming supported by the service producer;
- in response to the number of performance data to be reported reaching or exceeding the predetermined limit, reject the request;
- and
- in response to the number of performance data to be reported not reaching or exceeding the predetermined limit, create a measurement job to collect the performance data.
