Predictive QoS – using 5G network data analytics to enable proactive C-V2X adaptation
5G Automotive Association (5GAA) has developed the concept of predictive Quality of Service (QoS), which is a mechanism enabling mobile networks to provide early notifications about predicted QoS changes to interested consumers, such as the V2X application in the vehicle. This makes it possible for the application to adjust its behaviour before the predicted QoS change takes effect, which is important to certain automotive use cases, such as remote and autonomous driving.
The concept of predictive QoS is spreading in the industry and among standards developing organizations (SDO). It is, therefore, of interest to achieve a common understanding of what predictive QoS is – what problems it addresses, as well as how they are addressed.
We cordially invite you to join the 40-minutes long discussion by registering to the link below.
