A control network for supporting one or more mobile robots operable in a facility includes: a fleet management system authorized to perform path planning and path execution for the mobile robots; and a network management system authorized to configure and perform resource allocation in an access network, which is operable to provide the mobile robots with wireless connectivity in the facility. The respective authorities of the FMS and NMS are mutually exclusive, and the FMS is configured to generate, on the basis of the path planning, a predictive network resource request and share this with the NMS. A vertical application layer server is configured to generate a network resource request which specifies a future location of said one or more VAL UEs. A network resource management server is configured to generate a QoS forecast for one or more VAL UEs.
