Assignee: NIPPON TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONE CORPORATION
Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H  Y | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A requested communication quality estimation device for estimating a requested communication quality for a macroflow that is a set of microflows, the requested communication quality estimation device comprising:
a memory;
processing circuitry electrically coupled to the memory, the processing circuitry being configured to:
determine communication quality values for a group of known microflows in the macroflow,
estimate a first requested communication quality for each of microflows in the macroflow, based on the communication quality values for the known microflow group, wherein the estimating includes estimating a communication quality for an unknown microflow in the macroflow, based on the communication quality values for the group of known microflows, and
estimate a second requested communication quality for the macroflow, based on estimated first requested communication qualities for the respective known and unknown microflows.
