METHOD FOR PREDICTING A LEVEL OF QoE OF AN APPLICATION INTENDED TO BE RUN ON A WIRELESS USER EQUIPMENT

A method for predicting Quality of Experience (QoE) of an application running on a network device, the method comprising:

• collecting a plurality of wireless parameters, wherein each wireless parameter of the plurality of wireless parameters is measured during a plurality of learning periods;
• collecting one or more QoE parameters related to an application, wherein each QoE parameter of the plurality of QoE parameters is measured during the plurality of learning periods;
• mapping the plurality of wireless parameters to the one or more QoE;
• selecting, based on the mapping, one or more representative wireless parameters from the plurality of wireless parameters that most significantly influences the one or more QoE parameters in order to enable a device to predict a QoE level for the application for a wireless environment of a first time period by only measuring the one or more representative wireless parameters.

An access point (AP) comprising:

• a processor;
• a wireless node operatively connected to the processor;
• wherein the processor and wireless node are configured to:
• collect a plurality of wireless parameters, wherein each wireless parameter of the plurality of wireless parameters is measured during a plurality of learning periods;
• collect one or more QoE parameters related to an application, wherein each QoE parameter of the plurality of QoE parameters is measured during the plurality of learning periods;
• map the plurality of wireless parameters to the one or more QoE;
• select, based on the mapping, one or more representative wireless parameters from the plurality of wireless parameters that most significantly influences the one or more QoE parameters in order to enable a device to predict a QoE level for the application for a wireless environment of a first time period by only measuring the one or more representative wireless parameters.
