Abstract: A method of managing processing resources in a telecommunications network, the telecommunications network having a plurality of network slices and a User Equipment (UE), wherein the UE is allocated to a first network slice to process a network communication from the UE, the method comprising the steps of: monitoring a suitability of the first network slice to process the network communication; identifying a second network slice that is suitable for processing the network communication; and in response to identifying a lack of suitability of the first network slice to process the network communication, reallocating processing resources from the second network slice to the first network slice whilst the UE remains allocated to the first network slice.

Abstract: A method of establishing bearers for a device in a wireless communication network, including collecting for the device data over a period of time from communication sessions the device participates in, at least some of the communication sessions being supported by a default bearer and a dedicated bearer; calculating from the collected data a likelihood a dedicated bearer will be established for the device at one or more different times values, and predicting the dedicated bearer will be established for the device at a time value if the likelihood of establishment at that time value exceeds a specified threshold; and initiating establishment of the dedicated bearer to establish the dedicated bearer for the predicted time value.

Abstract: An application deployment manager 8 associated with an associated Mobile Edge Computing server receives a notification (step 222) of a newly-attached terminal, and queries a database 60 (step 223) to identify any computing applications the terminal is associated with, and interrogates an application platform 12 and an update record 72 to determine whether the current version of each required service is currently hosted on the platform 12 (steps 225, 250). The application deployment manager 8 then retrieves any programme data not already hosted on the application management system (step 227) for installation ready for use by the terminal 2.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method (300) of operating a telecommunications network (110-1), said telecommunications network comprising a plurality of nodes (150), and the method comprising the steps of: storing: a set of historic reconfiguration instructions, said instructions having been used to reconfigure the telecommunications network; first status information from each of the plurality of nodes, wherein said first status information is received prior to reconfiguring the telecommunications network according to a given historic reconfiguration instruction; and second status information from each of the plurality of nodes, wherein said second status information is received after reconfiguring the telecommunications network according to the given historic reconfiguration instruction; receiving a new reconfiguration instruction (310); prior to reconfiguring the telecommunications network according to the new reconfiguration instruction, identifying from the set a similar historic reconfiguration instruction having a similarity to the new reconfiguration instruction within a tolerance threshold; comparing the first and the second status information associated with the identified similar historic reconfiguration instruction so as to determine whether the identified similar historic reconfiguration instruction resulted in a detrimental effect to performance of the telecommunications network; in dependence on whether the identified similar historic reconfiguration instruction resulted in a detrimental effect, calculating a success confidence metric for the new reconfiguration instruction, said metric representing a probability that a reconfiguration instruction does not result in a detrimental effect to performance of the telecommunications network (320); and if the success confidence metric is: greater than a predetermined threshold value, reconfiguring the telecommunications network according to the new reconfiguration instruction (350); or less than a predetermined threshold value, preventing reconfiguration of the telecommunications network according to the new reconfiguration instruction (360).

Abstract: A method of operating User Equipment (110), UE, the UE being configured to connect to a wireless wide-area cellular telecommunications network (100), said telecommunications network comprising a plurality of radio access points (120, 130), and the method comprising the steps of: identifying, from the plurality of radio access points, a default radio access point for the UE; identifying, from the plurality of radio access points, an alternative default radio access point for the UE, wherein said identifying is performed based on the alternative default radio access point and the default radio access point having been simultaneously available to the UE for wireless connection and wherein the UE is instructed to connect to the default radio access point in preference to the alternative default radio access point; connecting the UE to the default radio access point (210); in response to the UE detecting a subsequent loss of connection with the default radio access point, the UE directly initiating only a connection with the identified alternative default radio access point (260).

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of controlling Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) for delivering a payload (120) to an intended delivery location (130-2) comprising the steps of: identifying a first AV (110-1) for retrieving a payload from a first location (130-1); determining a second location (140-1) to which the first AV is capable of travelling with the payload from the first location; instructing the first AV to retrieve the payload from the first location and to deliver the payload to the second location; communicating a wireless communication (160) requesting assistance from another AV to deliver the payload from the second location, wherein the wireless communication is in the form of a system information message; in response to the wireless communication, identifying a second AV (110-2) for retrieving the payload from the second location; and instructing the second AV to retrieve the payload from the second location and to deliver the payload to the intended delivery location (140-3).

Abstract: A method of establishing a telecommunications service between a client and a server. The method comprises receiving a request at a first domain for the telecommunications service and providing, by the first domain, a first function for establishing part of the telecommunications service. A process is repeatedly performed until a path is established between the client and the server via a plurality of domains comprising the first domain. The process comprises a domain identifying and instructing a subsequent domain to provide a further function for establishing the telecommunications service, and using the subsequent domain as the domain for a subsequent iteration of the process. The telecommunications service is established between the client and server via the plurality of domains
