Claim 7:
8. A method for supporting determination of an available delay budget for transmission of a packet by a base station to a user equipment, UE, in a cellular network, the method being performed by a sending node and comprising:
triggering setting a timestamp in a packet to be transmitted to the UE via the base station when processing the packet, the timestamp enabling the base station to determine an available delay budget for transmission of the packet to the UE based on a latency of the packet, the latency of the packet to be determined based on a difference between a time determined by the base station upon receipt of the packet and the timestamp set by the sending node in the packet, the base station and the sending node being synchronized in time, wherein the sending node is an originating node of the packet external to the cellular network; and
triggering sending the packet to the base station for transmission to the UE.
