API Description
The Quality-On-Demand (QoD) API provides a programmable interface for developers to request stable latency or prioritized throughput managed by networks. This API abstracts the complexity of underlying network technologies, such as 4G/5G systems, allowing developers to focus on enhancing user experiences for applications that demand high-quality network communication.
Key Features are:
QoS Session Management: Create, query, and delete QoS session resources based on available QoS profiles.
Stable Latency and Throughput: Request and manage network performance for specified application data flows.
Predefined QoS Profiles: Choose from a set of QoS profiles tailored to different latency and throughput needs.
Notification Support: Receive status change notifications via a callback URL.
Use Cases
The QoD API is versatile and can be applied to various scenarios where network performance is critical:
Industrial IoT: Ensure stable communication for sensors and actuators in industrial environments.
VR/Gaming: Provide low-latency connections for immersive virtual reality experiences and online gaming.
Live Video Streaming: Maintain high-quality video streams with minimal buffering and interruptions.
Autonomous Driving: Enable reliable communication for autonomous vehicles, ensuring safety and efficiency.
Telemedicine: Support real-time data transmission for remote medical consultations and monitoring.
Benefits
Using the QoD API offers several advantages for developers and end-users:
Enhanced User Experience: Improve application performance by ensuring stable latency and prioritized throughput.
Simplified Network Management: Abstract the complexity of network technologies, allowing developers to focus on application logic.
Flexibility: Choose from predefined QoS profiles to meet specific latency and throughput requirements.
Scalability: Manage multiple QoS sessions efficiently, supporting a wide range of applications and devices.
Compliance: Ensure compliance with privacy regulations through secure authentication and authorization mechanisms.
