1. A method to determine a Quality of Service, QoS, parameter, the method comprising:
receiving, at a base station, and from a time sensitive networks application function (TSN-AF) entity, a QoS parameter request to establish a current session, whereby the QoS parameter request comprises a descriptor for the current session and an indication that the current session is a probing session between the base station and a mobile device for purpose of probing the QoS parameter to be applied in a protocol data unit (PDU) session to be established in the future between the base station and the mobile device for purpose of transmitting and/or receiving data from/to a data network in accordance with the determined QoS parameter;
determining, at the base station, the QoS parameter related to the current probing session; and
transmitting, by the base station, the determined QoS parameter to the TSN-AF entity,
wherein the base station is prevented from reserving resources for use by the mobile device during the current probing session, and
wherein the base station will reserve resources for use by the mobile station during the future PDU session for the transmitting and/receiving of data from/to the data network.
