ACCESSING AN APPLICATION BASED ON A LEVEL OF SERVICE QUALITY
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a device and from a plurality of base stations associated with a radio access network (RAN), traffic information that identifies traffic load conditions associated with the RAN;
identifying, by the device and from the traffic information, one or more services being provisioned, by the plurality of base stations, to one or more user devices being served by the plurality of base stations;
obtaining, by the device and from a server device, one or more sets of service quality thresholds, associated with the one or more services, where a set of service quality thresholds associated with a particular service, of the one or more services, corresponds to one or more levels of performance associated with the particular service; and
transmitting, by the device and to the one or more user devices, the one or more sets of service quality thresholds, where the one or more sets of service quality thresholds allow the one or more user devices to select a respective service, of the one or more services, to access.

Abstract
A user device receives an instruction to access an application, of one or more applications being provisioned via one or more base stations; obtains service quality information, associated with the application, where the service quality information identifies one or more quality thresholds associated with one or more frequency bands to be used to access the application; measures a first level of service quality associated with traffic being received via a first frequency band and a second level of service quality associated with traffic being received via a second frequency band; and accesses the application using one of the first frequency band or the second frequency band based on a determination that another one of the first level of service quality or the second level of service quality is less than a threshold, of the one or more quality thresholds.

7. A user device comprising:
-
a memory to store service quality information associated with one or more applications being provisioned via a plurality of base stations, where the service quality information identifies one or more sets of quality thresholds associated with the one or more applications; and a processor to; receive an instruction to access an application, of the one or more applications, measure, as a result of the instruction, a first level of service quality, associated with traffic being received via a first frequency band associated with the application and a second level of service quality, associated with traffic being received via a second frequency band associated with the application, identify a first threshold, associated with one of the one or more sets of quality thresholds relating to the first frequency band, to which the first level of service quality corresponds, identify a second threshold, associated with another one of the one or more sets of quality thresholds relating to the second frequency band, to which the second level of service quality corresponds, and access the application using one of the first frequency band or the second frequency band based on whether the first threshold is greater than the second threshold. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A user device, comprising:
one or more processors to; receive an instruction to access an application, of one or more applications being provisioned via one or more base stations, obtain, from a server device and as a result of the instruction, service quality information, associated with the application, the service quality information identifying one or more quality thresholds associated with one or more frequency bands to be used to access the application, measure a first level of service quality associated with traffic being received via a first band of the one or more frequency bands and a second level of service quality associated with traffic being received via a second band of the one or more frequency bands, and access the application using one of the first band or the second band based on a determination that another one of the first level of service quality or the second level of service quality is less than a threshold, of the one or more quality thresholds. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
