LATENCY CONTROL FOR A COMMUNICATION NETWORK

A method for latency control in a communication network is disclosed. The method comprises identifying that a service is currently associated with a user device associated with the communication network, wherein a deviation between a latency requirement of the service and an internal latency performance of the communication network is bounded, and dynamically adjusting a configuration of the communication network for the service.In some embodiments, the dynamic adjustment is performed only for user devices associated with services with bounded deviation between the latency requirement of the service and the internal latency performance of the communication network.In some embodiments, dynamically adjusting the configuration of the communication network comprises controlling the communication network to provide latencies below a maximum latency threshold for the service.In some embodiments, the dynamic adjustment of the configuration of the communication network is based on the current traffic load.Corresponding apparatus, network node, and computer program product are also disclosed.
