Quality of service management for 5G networks

A computing device configured to manage Quality of Service (Qos), comprising:

• processing circuitry;
• and
• a memory device including instructions embodied thereon, wherein the instructions, which when executed by the processing circuitry, configure the processing circuitry to cause operations that:
• identify QoS characteristics for data flows of a user equipment (UE), the data flows performed via multiple access networks that include a 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) access network;
• map the QoS characteristics to network functions of at least one of the multiple access networks;
• control the network functions of the at least one of the multiple access networks, based on the QoS characteristics, wherein the network functions are implemented at respective resources located within at least one of the multiple access networks;
• register a network exposure function of the 3GPP access network to a network service provided to the UE;
• register the QoS characteristics to the network service;
• configure the network exposure function to meet QoS requirements for the network service based on the QoS characteristics;
• and
• monitor traffic associated with the network service in the 3GPP access network and update a configuration of the network exposure function to maintain the QoS requirements based on the monitored traffic and the QoS characteristics.
