1. Apparatus for determining transmission policies for a plurality of applications of different types basedon 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;
wherein said determiner is operative to determine said first or second transmission policy based on a following function;
