    Abstract: The present application provides a device for providing control plane (CP) and/or user plane (UP) analytics. The device is configured to obtain information related to a resource and/or a change of a resource related to a CP and/or a UP; perform an analysis based on the obtained information; and generate data based on the analysis. This application also provides a management plane entity, for example, an operation, administration and management (OAM). The management plane entity is configured to provide information related to a resource, wherein the resource is related to a CP and/or a UP to the device for providing analytics.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to End-to-End (E2E) Quality of Service (QoS) monitoring for strict E2E performance requirements in 5G networks including Network Slices (NSs) or Network Sub Slices (NSSs). The present disclosure provides a a control plane entity for obtaining NS Instance (NSI) data for analytics from a management plane entity, and a management plane entity to provide NSI data to a control plane entity. The control plane entity is configured to request NSI topology information from the management plane entity, obtain at least one first set of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) or at least one set of measurements, and generate the data for analytics based on the requested NSI topology information and at least one of the obtained first set of KPIs or the obtained one at least one set of measurements.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a control plane network entity for providing a multicast/broadcast service to one or more user equipments (UEs) in a cellular communication network using one or more user plane functions of a plurality of selectable user plane functions. The network entity includes processing circuitry configured to: receive a request for a multicast/broadcast service for the one or more UEs, wherein the request comprises one or more identifiers identifying the one or more UEs and/or one or more spatial regions the one or more UEs are located in; select one or more user plane functions of the plurality of selectable user plane functions on the basis of the one or more identifiers for providing the multicast/broadcast service to the one or more UEs; and provide the one or more selected user plane functions with information about the multicast/broadcast service.

    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a network function for supporting end-to-end communication services in a communication network, wherein the communication network comprises a first management system for managing a 3GPP 5G subnetwork and a second management system for managing a 3GPP legacy subnetwork and/or a non-3GPP subnetwork. The network function provides an interface between the first management system and the second management system. The first management system and/or the second management system comprises a plurality of network management functions and/or network management function instances. The network function also selects one or more of the plurality of network management functions and or network management function instances in response to a service request on the basis of a load balancing requirement, a minimum latency requirement defined by the service request and/or a quality of a service requirement defined by the service request.

    Abstract: A network operator apparatus, a teleoperation application (TOApplication) apparatus, and an apparatus for a teleoperable vehicle are provided. The network operator apparatus creates a network slice for teleoperating the teleoperable vehicle along at least one route, receives a slice configuration request comprising QoS for the at least one route from the TOApplication apparatus, and configures the network slice to support the QoS. The TOApplication apparatus communicates towards the network operator apparatus, a request for creating the network slice, receives a teleoperation service request comprising a set of teleoperation configurations from the teleoperable vehicle, maps each teleoperation configuration to a respective QoS and sends the slice configuration request comprising the QoS to the network operator apparatus. The apparatus for the teleoperable vehicle sends the teleoperation service request to the TOApplication apparatus and controls the route to be followed by the teleoperable vehicle based on information from the TOApplication apparatus.
