Claim 18:
19. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores instructions for execution by one or more processors of a next generation radio access network (NG-RAN), the one or more processors to configure the NG-RAN to, when the instructions are executed:
receive, from a user plane function (UPF) of a new radio (NR) network, General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) Tunneling Protocol (GTP) packet measurements unit (PDU) monitoring packets for quality of service (QoS) monitoring;
measure each of a downlink (DL) and an uplink (UL) delay of the GTP PDU monitoring packets between the NG-RAN and a user equipment (UE) connected to the NG-RAN, a delay of the GTP PDU monitoring packet between the NG-RAN and the UE comprising a NG-RAN delay of the NG-RAN and a delay over a Uu interface, the NG-RAN delay including a delay at a 5th generation NodeB (gNB) centralized unit user plane (gNB-CU-UP), a delay on an F1-U interface, and a delay on a gNB distributed unit (gNB-DU);
for each of the GTP PDU monitoring packets, increment one of a plurality of bins based on the delay of the GTP PDU monitoring packet between the NG-RAN and the UE, the plurality of bins having different delay ranges;
send, in response to reception of each of the GTP PDU monitoring packets, a GTP PDU monitoring response packet; and
send, to a service producer, performance measurements based on the plurality of bins, adjustment of network resources to improve the performance measurements being dependent on the performance measurements sent to the service producer.
