5G SBP Use Case - 5G: Quality on demand
Use this template to submit Use Cases for submission to the 5G Super Blueprint Use Case & Requirements Advisory Group. All input marked Mandatory is required for the blueprint use case proposal to be deemed ready for review by the Use Case & Requirements Advisory Group.
Use Case Name: | 5G : Quality on demand |
|
|---|---|---|
Use Case Description: |
Quality on Demand offers the application developer the capability to request stable latency (reduced jitter) or minimum throughput for specified application data flows between application clients (within a user device) and Application Servers (backend services) End Users or applications can request specific network quality levels depending on their current activity, enabling optimal performance for diverse scenario. Scenario Examples: Remote control of machines and vehicles (e.g. Automated Guided Vehicles, drones, robotic arms, factory production lines) require stable data throughput and low latency to ensure secure and efficient operations Media and entertainment (e.g. online gamers and viewers of real-time streaming) require a network with a high level of performance to ensure good user experience. Computer vision and remote video processing applications (e.g. sending a continuous video stream to their backends for processing) require stable data throughput and low latency to generate time-sensitive outputs, such as alarms and events for computer vision, or a produced video stream for their audience (Reference: GSMA) |
|
-Epic -Problem Statement | Traditional systems lack the real-time ability to measure and adjust quality metrics effectively. Even though we can monitor basic network health indicators (like latency or throughput), we have no way of dynamically requesting Quality of Service from network dependent on current traffic scenario. |

Users Stories | Nephio:User Story: Background: Acceptance Criteria:
Free5GC Core:User Story: As a Network Engineer, I want NEF of Free5GC core to be developed to support AF Session with QoS API, with which the required QoS flow can be managed and updated using API request from an external Application function. This will enhance the feature list of Free5GC Core on seamless management of QoS based on demand. Background: Free5GC Core NEF currently supports PFD management, Traffic influence etc., in the latest version of its release. By this development, the Free5GC NEF includes seamless transition of QoS APIs based on Quality Demand. Acceptance Criteria:
