Apparatus and method for determining transmission policies for a plurality of applications of different types
First Claim
1. Apparatus for determining transmission policies for a plurality of applications of different types based on first transmission data associated to a first transmission being of a first application type having associated there with a first transmission type, on second transmission data associated to a second transmission being of a second application type having associated there with a second transmission type, comprising:
- a first score calculator for obtaining a first score within a common range, common in the sense of being common for all transmissions and transmission types, said first score being based on an evaluation of said first transmission data in a first transmission type specific manner and considering a user perceived quality of the first transmission;
a second score calculator for obtaining a second score within the common range, said second score being based on an evaluation of said second transmission data in a second transmission type specific manner and considering a user perceived quality of the second transmission; and
determiner for determining, based on said obtained scores, for said first and second transmission, a respective first and second transmission policy, each defining one or more transmission parameters such that a sum of a first expected score and a second expected score is maximized.

Abstract
An apparatus for determining transmission policies for a plurality of transmissions of different types based on a first transmission data associated to a first transmission being of a first transmission type, and on a second transmission data associated to a second transmission being of a second transmission type is described, comprising means for obtaining a first score within a common range, said first score being based on an evaluation of said first transmission data in a first transmission type specific manner, means for obtaining a second score within the common range, said second score being based on an evaluation of said second transmission data in a second transmission type specific manner, and means for determining, based on said obtained first and second score, for said first and second transmission a respective first and second transmission policy each defining one or more transmission parameters such that a sum of a first and second expected score is maximized.

15. Method for determining transmission policies for a plurality of transmissions of different types based
on a first transmission data associated to a first transmission being of a first application type having associated there with a first transmission type, on a second transmission data associated to a second transmission being of a second application type having associated there with a second transmission type, comprising the following steps: -
obtaining a first score within a common range, common in the sense of being common for all transmissions and transmission types, said first score being based on an evaluation of said first transmission data in a first transmission type specific manner and considering a user perceived quality of the first transmission;
obtaining a second score within the common range, said second score being based on an evaluation of said second transmission data in a second transmission type specific manner and considering a user perceived quality of the second transmission; and
determining, based on said assigned first and second score, for the first and second transmission a respective first and second transmission policy defining one or more transmission parameters such that a sum of a first and second expected score for a consecutive transmission interval is maximized.

16. Computer program having a program code for performing a method for determining transmission policies for a plurality of transmissions of different types based
on a first transmission data associated to a first transmission being of a first application type having associated there with a first transmission type, on a second transmission data associated to a second transmission being of a second application type having associated there with a second transmission type, comprising the following steps: -
obtaining a first score within a common range, common in the sense of being common for all transmissions and transmission types, said first score being based on an evaluation of said first transmission data in a first transmission type specific manner and considering a user perceived quality of the first transmission;
obtaining a second score within the common range, said second score being based on an evaluation of said second transmission data in a second transmission type specific manner and considering a user perceived quality of the second transmission; and
determining, based on said assigned first and second score, for the first and second transmission a respective first and second transmission policy defining one or more transmission parameters such that a sum of a first and second expected score for a consecutive transmission interval is maximized, when the program runs on a computer.
