Abstract: A method of managing a telecommunications network, the telecommunications network having a first user and a second user, the method comprising the step of: ascertaining a competitive characteristic associated with the first user and a competitive characteristic associated with the second user (210); comparing the ascertained competitive characteristics (220); identifying whether there is a disparity between the competitive characteristics that exceeds a threshold (230), thereby to identify a competitive advantage associated with the first or second user; and if it is identified that the disparity exceeds the threshold, adapting a network configuration of a network connection associated with the first user so as to offset the competitive advantage associated with the first or second user (240).

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, the communication sessions supported by a first and second bearer for the network wherein the first bearer transports packets of the second bearer between nodes of the network; calculating from the collected data a likelihood the first bearer will be established for the device at one or more different time values, and predicting the first 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 first bearer to establish the first bearer for the predicted time value.

Abstract: A method of managing network traffic 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 for processing 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, redirecting the network communication to the second network slice whilst the UE remains registered with the first network slice.
