Abstract
A technique for determining an available delay budget for transmission of a packet by a base station to a user equipment, UE, in a cellular network is disclosed. A method implementation of the technique is performed by the base station and includes receiving a packet from a sending node, the packet including a timestamp set by the sending node when processing the packet, triggering determining a latency of the packet based on a difference between a time determined by the base station upon receipt of the packet and the timestamp set by the sending node in the packet, the base station and the sending node being synchronized in time, and triggering determining an available delay budget for transmission of the packet to the UE based on the latency of the packet.
