A network slice selection method includes, in response to an update in configuration information of a user of a media service, determining first information indicating updated configuration information of the user of the media service. The first information indicates an updated selection of a first network slice from at least two network slices. The method further includes transmitting, by the media service, the first information to an entity of a 5G Core network.

This application provides a communication method and apparatus. One example method comprises: obtaining, by a first communication apparatus, a first service that is to be sent from the first communication apparatus to a second communication apparatus; determining, by the first communication apparatus, a second quality of service (QoS) parameter based on the first service, wherein the second QoS parameter indicates a QoS requirement for sending the first service from the first communication apparatus to the second communication apparatus; sending, by the first communication apparatus, the second QoS parameter to a first relay communication apparatus, wherein the first relay communication apparatus is a relay communication apparatus between the first communication apparatus and the second communication apparatus; and receiving, by the first communication apparatus, a third QoS parameter from the first relay communication apparatus, wherein the third QoS parameter is used to determine a QoS parameter corresponding to the first service on a first link, and the first link is a link between the first communication apparatus and the first relay communication apparatus.

A communication method and an apparatus. The method includes: receiving at least one piece of quality of service QoS information from a second terminal; determining first QoS information based on the at least one piece of QoS information; and determining a first bearer configuration based on the first QoS information, and forwarding data from the second terminal to a third terminal based on the first bearer configuration; or sending the first QoS information to a network device, receiving a first bearer configuration of the network device, and forwarding data from the second terminal to a third terminal based on the first bearer configuration.

Provided are a QoS control method and apparatus, and a readable storage medium. A source UE sends request information to a target UE according to the triggering of an application, wherein the request information comprises QoS information of service data that is transmitted between the source UE and the target UE; and when receiving the request information issued by the source UE to the target UE, a relay UE can obtain QoS information of the service data that is transmitted between the source UE and the relay UE, and QoS information of the service data that is transmitted between the relay UE and the target UE.

An application, executed by a User Equipment (“UE”), may receive an identifier, which may be used to monitor Key Performance Indicators (“KPIs”) associated with the UE. Such KPIs may be monitored in conjunction with execution of the application, such as at times that the application sends and/or receives traffic. The KPIs may be associated with sensor data, resources, and/or other features or functionality of the UE. The UE may obtain an identifier associated with the application and/or the UE from a KPI monitoring system of some embodiments, may obtain user consent to monitor and/or report KPIs associated with the application, and may provide such KPIs to the KPI monitoring system in conjunction with the identifier. The KPI monitoring system may generate aggregated KPI information, associated with the application, based on the KPIs received from the UE and/or KPIs received from one or more other sources.

Methods and systems for dynamically adjusting a data rate in a wireless connection. The method and system include a source device and a sink device configured to establish a wireless connection. The quality of the wireless connection is monitored, and, should the quality degrade so as to satisfy a triggering event, the source controller can adjust the data rate, e.g., the bit rate or sample rate, used to reduce the number of dropped, lost, or retransmitted packets. The reduction in bit rate and/or sample rate results in packets of decreased size and additional unused air-time. The unused air-time provided can be filled with at least a portion of a frame of data originally associated with another packet. This will result in at least one packet being free to include additional retransmission packets. Additionally, should the quality of the connection improve, the source controller can adjust increase the data rate accordingly.
