ADAPTIVE QUALITY OF SERVICE (QoS) BASED ON APPLICATION LATENCY REQUIREMENTS

A system, comprising:

• one or more data collection devices to receive, from a plurality of network devices, packet timing data for subscriber applications over an Internet Protocol (IP) wireless access network;
• one or more memories to store the packet timing data;
• and
• one or more computing devices to:
• retrieve, from the one or more memories, the packet timing data,
• calculate, based on the packet timing data, timing latencies for a particular subscriber flow over the IP wireless access network,
• retrieve Quality of Service (QoS) timing specifications for the particular subscriber flow,
• determine when the calculated timing latencies for the particular subscriber flow fail to meet the QoS timing specifications for the particular subscriber flow,
• identify one or more of the plurality of network devices that are causing the particular subscriber flow to fail to meet the QoS timing specifications, and
• instruct the one or more of the plurality of network devices to modify QoS parameters for the particular subscriber flow to improve timing latency for the particular subscriber flow.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer-executable instructions, the computer-readable memory comprising:

• one or more instructions to retrieve packet timing data, from a plurality of network devices, for subscriber application traffic provided over an Internet Protocol (IP) wireless access network;
• one or more instructions to calculate, based on the packet timing data, timing latencies for a particular subscriber flow;
• one or more instructions to retrieve Quality of Service (QoS) timing specifications for the particular subscriber flow;
• one or more instructions to determine when the calculated timing latencies for the particular subscriber flow fail to meet the QoS timing specifications for the particular subscriber flow;
• one or more instructions to identify one or more of the plurality of network devices that are causing the particular subscriber flow to fail to meet the QoS timing specifications;
• and
• one or more instructions to cause the one or more of the plurality of network devices to modify QoS parameters for the particular subscriber flow to improve timing latency for the particular subscriber flow.
