Abstract

A server is connected via a wireless communication network to be capable of receiving sensor information from a wireless device and provide control signals based on at least the sensor information to the wireless device for enabling the wireless device to perform a control task. The server is arranged to receive an estimate of imminent connection state of the wireless device and adapt operation such that upon the estimated imminent connection state indicates a connection quality parameter to have a quality below a first threshold, the server provides an information package to be sent to the wireless device for enabling the wireless device to perform at least an increased part of the operation task locally at the wireless communication device, and upon the estimated imminent connection state indicates the connection quality parameter to have a quality above a second threshold, the server provides an information package to be sent to the wireless device for enabling the wireless device to be relieved from performing at least a part of the operation task by the server providing increased aid in performing the control task. The wireless device, methods and computer programs are also di…
