Abstract: Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to devices, methods, apparatuses and computer readable storage media for fulfillment of service requirements. In a method at a service provider, knowledge about a plurality of network and management domains is collected, and service requirements from a service consumer are determined. Based on the service requirements from the service consumer and the collected knowledge about the plurality of network and management domains, a set of access network domains is selected from a plurality of access network domains to provide a service area for the service consumer. At an access domain, mapping of at least a part service area to tracking areas is determined to fulfill the service requirements from the service consumer. Thus, the service provision for a service consumer may consider network characteristics such as mobility, load, performance, configurations, topology or the like, which is more efficient.

Abstract: Cognitive functions in a network, each comprising a learning module adapted to observe characteristics of the network and an inference module adapted to conclude, from the characteristics observed by the learning module, on a behavior of the network resulting from the observed characteristics, are controlled by halting and/or restarting operation of the learning module of a cognitive function of the cognitive functions, where operation of the inference module of the cognitive function is controlled independently from the halting and/or restarting the operation of the learning module of the cognitive function.

Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for a service model management request. The method may include receiving an end-to-end network service model for network services. The method may also includes determining a set of domain services that are required to be able to provide an end-to-end network service defined by the end-to-end network service model. The method may further include checking whether at least one management domain is capable of providing the required set of domain services. The method may also include requesting, when the at least one management domain is not capable of providing the required set of domain services, to prepare the at least one management domain to become able to provide the required set of domain services. In addition, the method may include receiving a notification from the at least one management domain indicating an availability to provide the required set of domain services.

Abstract: There are provided measures for realization of service level agreements in network slice scenarios joining multiple network capabilities. Such measures exemplarily comprise, as a slice management entity, receiving a network resource combination request including information on demand network capabilities and demand network features over a slice geographical area, transmitting, to an area base units repository, a request for at least one area base unit fulfilling at least one predetermined criterion in relation to said network resource combination request, receiving, from said area base units repository, area base units fulfilling said at least one predetermined criterion out of stored area base units, generating at least one area base units join (wherein each of said at least one area base units join includes a combination of at least one area base unit of said area base units, for each of said at least one area base units join, combined network capabilities of said combination of said at least one area base unit are the same over a join geographical area corresponding to said area base units join and combined network features of said combination of said at least one area base unit are uniform over said join geographical area corresponding to said area base units join, and for each of said at least one area base units join, said combined network capabilities and network features of said combination of said at least one area base unit meet said demand network capabilities and demand network features over said join geographical area corresponding to said area base units join), selecting at least one selected area base units join of said at least one area base units join such that a combination of join geographical areas of said at least one selected area base units join covers said slice geographical area, and combining said at least one selected area base units join as a network resource combination.

Abstract: An apparatus comprising: at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code; the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to: determine (902) that at least one state of a network slice is to be adjusted in a limited geographical area of at least one network resource; and adjust (904, 906, 908) the at least one state of the network slice in the limited geographical area of the at least one network resource.
