1. A method for performing Quality of Service, QoS, control regarding control messages communicated from a robot controller to a robot via a mobile communication network in a cloud robotics system, the method comprising:
triggering mapping of control messages communicated from the robot controller to the robot to QoS classes among a plurality of data session related QoS classes supported by the mobile communication network for transmission of traffic via the mobile communication network, wherein each of the control messages is mapped to a respective QoS class depending on a Quality of Control, QoC, tolerance associated with the respective control message, wherein the mapping is adjusted based on QoC feedback provided by at least one of the robot and the robot controller, and wherein control messages with lower QoC tolerances are mapped to higher QoS classes, and control messages with higher QoC tolerances are mapped to lower QoS classes,
communicating the control messages according to the triggered mapping.
