Abstract
Described herein are solutions for level-based network service quality. A user equipment (UE) may determine multiple quality level profiles corresponding to an application, network service, or data flow. The quality level profiles may each include different set of attributes relating to a quality of service (QoS), such as a burst size, burst cadence, delay budget, etc. The UE may register the quality level profiles with a base station serving the UE, and the base station may provide service to the UE based on one of the quality level profiles. When network conditions change and the current quality level profile is unsuitable, the base station may select a more suitable quality level profile and notify the UE of the change in quality level profile. The UE may adjust UL transmissions in accordance with the new quality level profile. These and other features and examples are described herein.
