Lab: NEF API design for QoS-on-demand gaming
QoS-on-Demand for Cloud Gaming
Cloud gaming demands consistent low latency and guaranteed bandwidth — exactly the kind of network behavior that QoS-on-demand APIs can deliver. In this lab, you will design a NEF API flow for a gaming service that dynamically requests enhanced QoS when a player starts a session and releases it when the session ends. The design covers the complete lifecycle: AF authentication via OAuth 2.0, QoS session creation through the NEF, policy enforcement at the PCF, and QoS rule installation on the SMF and UPF for the target PDU session.
