Adaptive radio access network bit rate scheduling

Network equipment, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
• receiving policy data representative of a minimum bit rate policy for application via a radio access network node, wherein the minimum bit rate policy comprises:
• a group of network conditions;
• and
• minimum bit rates respectively assigned to network conditions of the group of network conditions, wherein the respective minimum bit rates are applied to user equipment served by the radio access network node in response to occurrences of the respective network conditions, wherein the applying the respective minimum bit rates to the user equipment in response to the occurrences of the network conditions comprises assigning respective radio network resources to the user equipment based on the respective minimum bit rates applied to the user equipment;
• receiving, from the radio access network node, performance data comprising an indication of an occurrence of a network condition of the group of network conditions;
• identify, based on the minimum bit rate policy and the performance data, a minimum bit rate assigned to the network condition;
• and
• sending the minimum bit rate to the radio access network node for application of the minimum bit rate by the radio access network node to the user equipment.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor of network equipment, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:

• deploying a minimum bit rate policy for application of the minimum bit rate policy by a radio access network node, wherein the minimum bit rate policy comprises:
• a group of network conditions;
• and
• minimum bit rates respectively assigned to network conditions of the group of network conditions, wherein the respective minimum bit rates are applied to user equipment served by the radio access network node in response to occurrences of the respective network conditions, wherein the applying the respective minimum bit rates to the user equipment in response to the occurrences of the network conditions comprises assigning respective radio network resources to the user equipment based on the respective minimum bit rates applied to the user equipment;
• receiving performance data related to performance of the radio access network node during the application of the minimum bit rate policy by the radio access network node to the user equipment served by the radio access network node;
• and
• modifying the minimum bit rate policy based on the performance data, resulting in a modified minimum bit rate policy, wherein the modified minimum bit rate policy comprises at least one modified respective minimum bit rate assigned to at least one of the network conditions of the group of network conditions, and wherein the at least one modified respective minimum bit rate is applied to the user equipment served by the radio access network node in response to the occurrences of the at the least one of the network conditions.
