Abstract
Techniques for network-based and sender-based data packet prioritization for downlink transmissions are discussed herein. Packets can be tagged or associated with information indicative of a priority of the packet for downlink transmission to a user equipment (UE). A priority level can be determined based on an application identifier or type associated with a data request, a level of user interaction with the UE, network conditions, and other factors. Packets can be received by a PDCP layer of a base station for sending based on the priority. Packets may be associated with a primary priority level associated with a QCI level and a secondary priority level based on UE and/or network factors discussed herein. Packets associated with a same QCI may be prioritized to optimize transmission of downlink data associated with a single UE or between transmission of downlink data associated with a plurality of UEs.
