Patent attributes
Disclosed are methods, systems and non-transitory computer readable mediums for estimating bandwidth over packet data networks, for example, 5G networks. The methods, systems and non-transitory computer readable mediums can include modifying a buffer status report (e.g., via application programming interface) and reporting, to an eNodeB, the modified buffer status report. The methods, systems and non-transitory computer readable mediums can also include calculating the required throughput to satisfying transmitting a data amount stored at a regular buffer, receiving, from the eNodeB, uplink grants and transmitting, data from the regular buffer. The methods, systems and non-transitory computer readable mediums can also include calculating estimated throughput from the user equipment, determining if the estimated throughput services the data amount stored at the regular buffer and in response to the estimated throughput being insufficient to service the data amount stored the regular buffer, determining if a counter is less than a threshold value.
