Network under Control: Multi-Vehicle E2E Measurements for AI-based QoS Prediction

In the future, mobility use cases will depend on precise predictions, with Quality of Service (QoS) prediction being a prominent example. This paper presents realistic measurements from today’s vehicles to support robust QoS prediction in the future. Based on a dedicated and controlled measurement campaign, we highlight aspects of the wireless environment and the device characteristics, like the sampling rates, that influence the collected datasets. If not properly handled, such characteristics might hinder the performance of Artificial Intelligence-based algorithms for QoS prediction. Therefore, we also provide insights on dataset characteristics that should be further used to enable easier adoption of AI-based algorithms. New AI-based algorithms should be able to operate in very diverse radio environments with data captured from different devices. We provide several examples that highlight the importance of thoroughly understanding the datasets and their dynamics.
