Communication apparatus, information processing apparatus, communication method, and information processing method

An information processing apparatus that is capable of controlling a mobile network including a core network via a function of the core network, the information processing apparatus comprising:

• a communication control unit configured to establish a session in an application layer with a communication apparatus that functions as a user apparatus in the mobile network;
• a transmission unit configured to transmit network quality information of the mobile network to the communication apparatus in the session;
• a reception unit configured to receive, from the communication apparatus, a request for Quality of Service (QoS) of a service desired to be used by the communication apparatus, the QoS having been decided based on the acquired network quality information and information related to the service;
• and
• a network control unit configured to control the mobile network based on the QoS request.

A communication method executed by a communication apparatus that functions as a user apparatus in a mobile network including a core network, the communication method comprising:

• establishing a session in an application layer with an information processing apparatus capable of controlling the mobile network via a function of the core network;
• acquiring network quality information regarding the mobile network from the information processing apparatus in the session;
• deciding Quality of Service (QoS) regarding a service desired to be used by the communication apparatus, based on the network quality information acquired and information related to the service;
• and
• transmitting a request for the QoS to the information processing apparatus.
