Abstract
A method for accommodation of latency variation 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, predicting an upcoming reduction of communication network throughput for the user device, and providing a rate adaptor associated with the service with a feedback indication in response to predicting the reduction of communication network throughput, wherein the feedback indication is for rate reduction of the service. In some embodiments, the prediction and provision are 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.
