    Abstract: Example embodiments enable controlling consumption of additional resources required for performing data collection in a radio access network by estimating costs associated with various data collection tasks. The costs may be exposed to data consumers such that is possible to keep the additional resource consumption within cost budget(s) allocated for particular data consumers, network nodes, and/or network interfaces. Example embodiments enable preventing excessive data collection load, which may be for example caused by various machine learning tasks performed at the radio access network. Apparatuses, methods, and computer programs are disclosed.

    Abstract: Communication includes transmitting first and second traffic flow packets via a first radio bearer to a second device; detecting that further second traffic flow packets will be transmitted via a second radio bearer to the second device; and transmitting a packet data unit via the first radio bearer to the second device to indicate a switch of the second traffic flow while first traffic flow packets are transmitted via the first radio bearer. Communication may also include receiving first and second traffic flow packets from a first device via a first radio bearer; receiving from the first device a packet data unit indicating that further second traffic flow packets will be received via a second radio bearer while the first traffic flow is received via the first radio bearer; and establishing the second radio bearer between the first and second devices.

    Abstract: A method includes transmitting packets of first and second traffic subflows via a first radio bearer to a second device; detecting that further packets of the second traffic subflow are to be transmitted via a second radio bearer to the second device; and transmitting a packet data unit via the first radio bearer to the second device, wherein the packet data unit includes an indication of a switch of the second traffic flow. Another method includes receiving from a first device packets of first and second traffic subflows via a first radio bearer; receiving from the first device a packet data unit including an indication that further packets of the second traffic subflow are to be received via a second radio bearer; establishing the second radio bearer between a second device and the first device; and receiving the further packets of the second traffic flow via the second radio bearer.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for mobility. In some example embodiments, there may be provided a method that includes determining whether to handover to a target base station, the determining based on whether a security level of the target base station satisfies a security threshold; enabling a relocation of a packet data convergence protocol entity to enable ciphering a tunnel to a user equipment, when the security level satisfies the security threshold; and inhibiting the relocation of the packet data convergence protocol entity to inhibit ciphering a tunnel to the user equipment, when the security level does not satisfy the security threshold. Related systems, methods, and articles of manufacture are also described.

    Abstract: A method for allocating resources in a wireless network by making use of a resource pool and a resource selection policy. A user equipment is configured by a base station to use a pool of resources and a resource selection policy to use to select one or more resources from the pool of resources. The information from the user equipment in the selected resources is provided to the base station. The resource selection policy may include a random choice of resource blocks. The resource selection policies may be defined prior to the configuring, and they may be mapped to quality of service requirements. The base station may determine the resource selection policy from the defined resource selection policies. The method may be used for a policy-based resource pool allocation for low-latency HOT and other applications.
