    Abstract: Analytics information can be used in a mobile network. Network entities and corresponding methods support the generation of such analytics information. In particular, network entities and methods can facilitate the gathering of information required for the analytics generation. A network entity for analytics generation may be configured to obtain network slice association (NSA) information and/or user plane association (UPA) information from one or more other network entities, where the NSA information indicates a relation between an Access Network (AN) property and a Core Network (CN) property, and the UPA information indicates a network entity configured to transmit data traffic to and/or from a user equipment in the network. Further, the network entity may be configured to provide analytics information, the analytics information being based on the obtained NSA information and/or UPA information.

    Abstract: A method supports transfer of service traffic between an external network entity and a second network entity. The method includes: sending, by the second network entity, a first transfer request to a first network entity, wherein the transfer request includes first service traffic; receiving, by the first network entity, the first transfer request from the second network entity, and sending, by the first network entity, a second transfer request to the external network entity, the second transfer request including the first service traffic; and receiving, by the second network entity, a fourth transfer request from the first network entity, the fourth transfer request including second service traffic.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to serving cells and methods for discovering slice-related information within a communication system. One example method comprises identifying at least one target cell in a neighborhood of a serving cell by obtaining identification information from a user equipment (UE) device, obtaining slice-related information of the identified at least one target cell, establishing a connection between the serving cell and the identified at least one target cell, and updating a neighbor relation table (NRT) of the serving cell with the slice-related information of the identified at least one target cell, where the UE device, which has an active communication with the serving cell, is associated with at least one of at least one slice or a slice-type.

    Abstract: This disclosure relates to a Time Sensitive Network (TSN). The disclosure provides an implementation for time sensitive communication across one or more TSN domains of the TSN over a mobile network, for example, over a 5G network. To this end, the disclosure provides a mobile-network entity for interacting with the TSN domains, and provide a TSN-aware mobile network entity. The mobile-network entity receives a management request, which indicates one or more TSN management operations and one or more TSN parameters, from a TSN management entity. It then sends an instruction, which indicates one or more mobile-network operations, one or more mobile-network parameters, and optionally at least one TSN parameter, to one or more TSN-aware mobile-network entities. The TSN-aware mobile-network entities receive accordingly the instructions and perform the mobile-network operation according to the mobile-network parameter, and optionally the TSN parameter.

    Abstract: A network entity is proposed for controlling the use, by a user equipment, of network slices of a communication network comprising a plurality of slice support areas. Each slice support area comprises at least one cell, and all cells of a given slice support area support the same network slices. A registration area for the registration of the user equipment with the communication network comprises at least one slice support area. The network entity is adapted to transmit, to the user equipment, slice support information for at least one slice support area of the communication network. The slice support information for a given slice support area indicates at least one network slice supported by the given slice support area and/or at least one network slice not supported by the given slice support area.

    Abstract: Analytics information is generated in a new generation mobile network. A first network entity generates the analytics information, and a second network entity and a third network entity support the analytics generation. The first network entity is configured to obtain, from the second network entity or from one or more third network entities, past and/or current association information for an area of interest. Further, it is configured to provide analytics information based on the obtained association information for the area of interest. The past and/or current association information indicates one or more other network entities and/or network properties that, respectively, have been and/or are mapped to or serving the area of interest.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to external services provided to a network. In particular, the disclosure proposes network entities that are involved in the registration of an external network entity and/or of one or more services provided by the external network entity and entities that are involved in the transfer of service traffic from an external network entity providing one or more services to another network entity consuming the one or more services. For instance, the disclosure proposes a network entity for supporting registration of the external network entity and/or one or more services of the external network entity at another network entity.
