US Patent 11190983 Network latency control

Techniques for network scheduling that may provide consistent latency in content delivery are described. For example, the techniques may include receiving, by a scheduler of a carrier network, a consistent latency request associated with an application operating on a user equipment (UE), the consistent latency request including a specified latency value. Based at least in part on the specified latency value, the scheduler of the carrier network may schedule transmission of one or more packets associated with the application operating on the UE to cause the one or more packets to arrive at the UE with an inter-packet delay substantially equal to the specified latency value.
