Abstract
A method of a control node, operable in a communication network and comprising controlling circuitry configured to estimate quality of service (QoS) for geographical locations in the network is disclosed. The method comprises receiving (210, 310, 410, 510) from a user operable in the network a request signal indicative of a starting point and a destination point, acceptable quality of service during transit of the user from the starting point to the destination point and transit time; determining (211, 311, 411, 512, 516, 517) one or more routes from the starting point to the destination point based on transit time and on estimated QoS for a plurality of geographical locations of the one or more routes in view of the accepted QoS; providing (212, 316, 413, 512, 516) information of the determined one or more routes to the user; and dynamically updating (214, 215, 216, 314, 317) the determined one or more routes based on received information pertaining to experienced QoS associated with geographical locations pertaining to the determined one or more routes during transit of the user. Corresponding computer program product, and control node are also disclosed.
