Radio access network (ran) assisted quality of experience (qoe)-aware source bitrate selection

Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A wireless communications system may support immersive applications such as extended reality, mixed reality, interactive mapping, integration of artificial intelligence, among other services which may utilize high quality and low latency video streams. To support improved integration between network components providing applications, and to increase quality of experience (QoE) for users, the wireless communications system may implement radio access network (RAN)-assisted QoE-aware source bitrate selection. In some aspects, an application server may provide a RAN node with bitrate information for one or more users, including at least a first bitrate that maintains a threshold QoE for a threshold duration. The RAN node may determine, based on various factors such as network load, load balancing, obtainable QoE across users, among other factors, a selected bitrate for the one or more users and may provide the selected bitrate to the application server.
