1. A method for assigning a service quality of a radio access network to a wireless connection, comprising:
establishing, by a mobile application, the wireless connection to an application backend via an access node of the radio access network; and
assigning, by a scheduler of the radio access network, the service quality of the radio access network to the established wireless connection;
wherein the mobile application transmits a quality function to the radio access network;
wherein the scheduler assigns the service quality depending on the transmitted quality function, wherein the transmitted quality function indicates to the scheduler various levels of operational quality for the mobile application corresponding to various levels of service quality of the radio access network;
wherein the quality function is transmitted as a quality matrix with discrete latency values as row indices of the quality matrix, discrete data rate values as column indices of the quality matrix, and quality indices as matrix elements of the quality matrix; and
wherein a plurality of quality combinations is created by combining discrete data rate values with discrete latency values, and the quality indices are created by ranking the created quality combinations according to respective levels of operational quality for the mobile application.
