    Abstract: User quality of experience assessment in radio access networks is provided herein. A method can include measuring an average packet size of incoming data packets received via a radio access network, the incoming data packets respectively comprising data directed to respective network equipment served via the radio access network; determining service metrics for outgoing data packets transmitted via the radio access network to the respective network equipment in response to the incoming data packets being received via the radio access network, wherein the service metrics comprise an average transmission delay for the outgoing data packets and a packet loss rate for the outgoing data packets; and determining a quality of experience value associated with a performance of the radio access network based on a function of the average packet size of the incoming data packets and the service metrics for the outgoing data packets.

    Abstract: Aspects include determining whether a utilization of wireless spectrum associated with a guaranteed class of traffic in a network is greater than a first threshold, responsive to the determining indicating that the utilization of the wireless spectrum associated with the guaranteed class of traffic is greater than the first threshold, causing an upgrade of a capacity in the network, and responsive to the determining indicating that the utilization of the wireless spectrum associated with the guaranteed class of traffic is not greater than the first threshold: determining a throughput for a non-guaranteed class of traffic for each cell of a plurality of cells of the network, and responsive to determining that the throughput for the non-guaranteed class of traffic for at least one cell of the plurality of cells is less than a second threshold, causing the upgrade of the capacity in the network. Other embodiments are disclosed.

    Abstract: The disclosed technology describes on-demand adjusting of the quality of service (QoS) class identifier (QCI) relative weight settings for different QCI classes associated with user devices. A QoS controller, which can be implemented in a standalone or a cloud configuration, updates the QCI weight settings as requested or needed to deal with changing network environments, such as growing traffic, different RF conditions, new devices, ratio of different service classes of user devices, to improve the overall performance of one or more cell sites. In one implementation, the QoS controller collects actual network statistics, and runs simulations based on those statistics with different groups of candidate QCI weight settings to generate multiple result sets. The QoS controller evaluates the result sets to determine which group of QCI weight settings meets desired performance objectives, and then applies those QCI weight settings to one or more NodeBs for use with actual data traffic.
