1. A method for operating a mobile point-of-sale (mPOS) application, comprising:
an application frontend of the mPOS application is installed and launched on a terminal device connected to a communication network via a secure connection;
an application backend of the mPOS application is installed and launched on an edge cloud server of the communication network;
the application frontend, for starting a transaction associated with the mPOS application, transmits a transaction request indicating the transaction to be started and comprising transaction data associated with the indicated transaction to the application backend via the connection;
the application backend, upon receipt of the transaction request, transmits an authorization request to the application frontend via the connection;
the application frontend, upon receipt of the authorization request, authorizes the requested transaction and transmits a transaction authorization to the application backend via the connection; and
the application backend, upon receipt of the transaction authorization and the transaction data, completes the transaction;
wherein a quality service of the communication network applies a respective predetermined service quality to the connection based on applying a managed latency service to the connection, and wherein the communication network and the edge cloud server apply a given prioritization to the mPOS application and provide a feedback loop;
wherein the respective predetermined service quality is applied based on a unique quality identifier provided by the application frontend; and
wherein the respective predetermined service quality is applied further based on an application ID of the mPOS application, an access point name/data network name, or a combination comprising an IP address and a port number as the unique quality identifier.
