Internet of things end-to-end service layer quality of service management
Methods, system, and apparatuses may support end-to-end (E2E) quality of service (QoS) through the use of service layer (SL) sessions. For example, an application can communicate with a targeted device based on application specified schedule, latency, jitter, error rate, throughput, level of security, and cost requirements.
1. An apparatus comprising:
a processor; and
a memory coupled with the processor, the memory comprising executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising:
determining end-to-end quality of service requirements for a first application on the apparatus that communicates across a multi-hop communication path spanning across multiple underlying network technologies to a second application on a remote apparatus, wherein the first application provides the end-to-end quality of service requirements to the apparatus, wherein the end-to-end quality of service requirements comprise a minimum reachability schedule of when the first application requires the second application to be available to receive requests from the first application or a minimum throughput defining a rate at which the first application can send or receive requests to or from the second application;
determining whether underlying networks for individual hops of the multi-hop communication path meet the end-to-end quality of service requirements of the first application;
sending requests to underlying networks to configure quality of service settings for individual hops of the multi-hop communication path, each request comprising quality of service requirements for the individual hop of the multi-hop communication path, wherein the quality of service requirements are different for multiple individual hops of the multi-hop communication path;
