Abstract

The present invention relates to methods and devices for indicating Quality of Service (QoS) of a message intended for a Machine Type Communication (MTC) device in a capillary network.Thus, provided is, i.e., a method at a core network node of determining QoS of a message intended for an MTC device in a capillary network. The method comprises receiving a message on a destination port, a number of which destination port indicates a required QoS with which the message should be sent towards the MTC device, and deriving the required QoS from the destination port number. The method further comprises transferring the message in accordance with the required QoS towards the MTC device.
