Abstract
An apparatus for radio communications. The apparatus includes: a processor to determine at least one parameter characterizing a present QoS at a first apparatus of a radio communications network; a processor to determine at least one first QoS prediction that characterizes a future QoS at the first apparatus at least on the at least one determined parameter; and a transmitter to transmit the at least one first prediction.
Claims19
A method, comprising:
- determining, by a first apparatus of a radio communications network, a present QoS parameter characterizing at least one of a present latency, a present data rate, and a present packet loss rate experienced at the first apparatus of the radio communications network;
- determining, by the first apparatus, at least one first QoS prediction, the at least one first QoS prediction characterizing at least one of a future latency, a future data rate, and a future packet loss rate to be experienced at the first apparatus, the determination of the at least one first QoS prediction being based at least on the determined present QoS parameter;
- and
- transmitting, by the first apparatus, the at least one first QoS prediction to a second apparatus that is configured to determine, based on the at least one first QoS prediction, a second QoS prediction, the at least one second QoS prediction characterizing the at least one of the future latency, the future data rate, and the future packet loss rate, but as to be experienced at the second apparatus, wherein the determination of the at least one first QoS prediction is performed using a subset of parameters locally available to the first apparatus, the subset being disjoint from parameters that the second apparatus is configured to use to determine the at least one second QoS prediction.
