QUALITY FRAMEWORK FOR VEHICLE APPLICATION DATA NETWORKS

A system for providing quality of experience (QoE) metrics to incoming application data transferred to a vehicle includes a cloud-based dynamically updatable application QoE policy engine adapted to establish QoE metrics and prioritization criteria for incoming application data and to assign QoE policies to the vehicle, and a data controller within the vehicle adapted to receive QoE policies from the application QoE policy engine and enforce the QoE policies assigned, wherein the data controller is adapted to enforce the QoE policies assigned with an enhanced distributed control access (EDCA) algorithm adapted to prioritize incoming application data traffic received via IEEE 802.11 standard supported wireless LAN technology channels and with a resource block allocation and network slicing (RAN) algorithm adapted to prioritize incoming application data traffic received via cellular channels.
