Client device for indication of non-fulfillment of QoS requirement

A method applied to a client device, the method comprising:

• obtaining a Quality-of-Service (QoS) monitoring configuration associated with an application in a first layer;
• determining QoS estimates for a radio link serving the application in the first layer;
• and
• providing a first indication from the first layer to a second layer upon detecting that a QoS estimate does not fulfill a QoS requirement obtained from the QoS monitoring configuration, wherein the first layer is a physical layer arranged below the second layer,
• wherein the first indication triggers, autonomously in the client device, a pre-programed behavior in the application, and
• wherein the pre-programmed behavior in the application comprises taking precautionary actions and/or entering into a safe-mode.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising a program code that is executed by a processor of a computer to perform a method including:

• obtaining a Quality-of-Service (QoS) monitoring configuration associated with an application in a first layer;
• determining QoS estimates for a radio link serving the application in the first layer;
• and
• providing a first indication from the first layers to a second layer upon determining that a QoS estimate does not fulfil a QoS requirement obtained from the QoS monitoring configuration, wherein the first layer is a physical layer arranged below the second layer,
• wherein the first indication triggers, autonomously in the client device, a pre-programed behavior in the application, and
• wherein the pre-programmed behavior in the application comprises taking precautionary actions and/or entering into a safe-mode.
