API Description
The Quality-On-Demand (QoD) Provisioning API offers a programmable interface for developers to request the assignment of a certain Quality of Service (QoS) Profile to a specific device, indefinitely. This API sets up the configuration in the network so that the requested QoS profile is applied to the specified device whenever it is connected to the network, until the provisioning is deleted.
Key Features are:
Provision QoS Profiles: Assign a QoS profile to a device to ensure stable latency or prioritized throughput.
Retrieve Provisioning Information: Get details about the QoS provisioning for a specific device or provisioning ID.
Delete Provisioning: Release resources related to a QoS provisioning.
Notification Support: Receive status change notifications via a callback URL.
Use Cases
The QoD Provisioning 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 Provisioning 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.
