Managing network slice bandwidth for remote game sessions

A network slice bandwidth management system, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• a database containing a remote game session list that identifies multiple remote game sessions sharing a network sliced having a slice bandwidth size, each remote game session identified in the remote game session list with a session identifier and having a bandwidth ceiling, a bandwidth floor, and a tier, wherein the bandwidth ceiling, the bandwidth floor, and the tier corresponding to a particular respective remote game session are determined based on at least one of:
• a quality of service indication identified in a session request from a gaming client device with respect to a game title, a game profile table associated with the game title, and one or more device capability parameters indicated in the session request;
• and
• a persistent memory having program instructions stored thereon, the program instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, configured to:
• responsive to detecting a triggering input, perform a bandwidth allocation process to determine a bandwidth allocated to each respective remote game session, wherein the bandwidth allocation process includes an initial assignment of the bandwidth floors to respective remote game sessions and iteratively increment respective bandwidth allocations to one or more remote game sessions based on respective adequacy values determined using at least one of respective tier and ceiling parameters.

A computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors of a network slice bandwidth manager, cause the network slice bandwidth manager to perform operations comprising:

• populating a remote game session list that identifies multiple remote game sessions sharing a network slice having a slice bandwidth size, each remote game session identified in the remote game session list with a session identifier and having a bandwidth ceiling, a bandwidth floor, and a tier, wherein the bandwidth ceiling, the bandwidth floor, and the tier corresponding to a particular respective remote game session are determined based on at least one of:
• a quality of service indication identified in a session request from a gaming client device with respect to a game title, a game profile table associated with the game title, and one or more device capability parameters indicated in the session request;
• and
• responsive to detecting a triggering input, performing a bandwidth allocation process to determine a bandwidth allocated to each respective remote game session, wherein the bandwidth allocation process includes an initial assignment of the bandwidth floors to respective remote game sessions and iteratively incrementing respective bandwidth allocations to one or more remote game sessions based on respective adequacy values determined using at least one of respective tier, bandwidth floor and ceiling parameters.
