1. A method comprising:
determining, based at least on data received in a communications session, one or more parameters affecting quality of experience (QoE) for a user equipment (UE);
determining weights corresponding to the one or more parameters;
computing an expected QoE for the UE based on the determined weights corresponding to the one or more parameters;
determining that the expected QoE satisfies a threshold;
outputting, for transmission to one or more network nodes in a communications network, the determined weights corresponding to the one or more parameters; and
adjusting the communications session based at least on an updated QoE that is computed using one or more new parameters and corresponding weights determined by the one or more network nodes in the communications network.
