1. At least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions to reduce network traffic associated with an extended reality communication over a 5G or higher generation wireless telecommunication network which, when executed by at least one data processor of a system, causes the system to:
determine that an application associated with a mobile device is requesting the extended reality communication over the 5G or higher generation wireless telecommunication network,
wherein the extended reality communication includes real-and-virtual combined environments or human-machine interactions generated by computer technology and wearables,
wherein a desired downlink throughput associated with the extended reality communication is approximately above 20 Mbps, and,
wherein a desired uplink throughput associated with the extended reality communication is approximately up to 10 Mbps;
send a first indication to the 5G or higher generation wireless telecommunication network,
wherein the first indication specifies to a base station associated with the 5G or higher generation wireless telecommunication network that the mobile device is requesting the extended reality communication,
wherein the base station is configured to determine whether the base station can provide the desired downlink throughput and the desired uplink throughput to the mobile device, and
wherein the base station is configured to, upon determining that the base station cannot provide the desired downlink throughput or the desired uplink throughput to the mobile device, send a first message to the mobile device indicating that the extended reality communication is of low-quality; and
upon receiving the first message, wait for a second message from the 5G or higher generation wireless telecommunication network indicating that the extended reality communication is available, thereby reducing network traffic associated with the extended reality communication by eschewing sending repeated requests for the extended reality communication.
