Quality of service adjustments to improve network utilization

摘要

Devices of a telecommunication network described herein are configured to reduce a service level associated with a quality of service offered by the telecommunication network to a user. The devices may reduce the service level responsive to data consumption by the user exceeding a threshold or responsive to data consumption associated with an application or data type. Also, the devices may be configured to increase a video-conversation-specific service level responsive to determining that a client device of the user is establishing a video conversation.

主权项

1. One or more computer storage media comprising computer-executable instructions configured to program one or more computing devices of a telecommunication network to perform operations including:
receiving an indication that a client device of the telecommunication network is consuming data associated with a specific application or with a specific data type; in response to receiving the indication, reducing an application-specific or data-type-specific content-quality level associated with a content-quality offered by the telecommunication network when providing the data associated with the application or the data type to the client device, receiving a second indication that consumption of data of the client device over the telecommunication network has exceeded a threshold; and in response to receiving the second indication, reducing a maximum bit rate at which the client device is able to communicate with the telecommunication network and increasing the previously reduced content-quality level.
