Abstract: The invention relates to a network entity for controlling distribution of slice service level agreement, SLA, information of a network slice in a mobile communication network, wherein the network entity is configured to: obtain a plurality of slice SLA indications, wherein each slice SLA indication is obtained from a network control entity of a first plurality of network control entities; and provide to a network control entity local slice SLA information, wherein the local slice SLA information is based on the obtained plurality of slice SLA indications. The invention further relates to a network control entity for supporting distribution of slice service level agreement, SLA, information for a mobile communication network, wherein the network control entity is configured to: provide a plurality of slice SLA indications to a network entity for controlling distribution of slice SLA information of a network slice; obtain local slice SLA information related to a network slice from a second entity, wherein the local slice SLA information is based on the obtained plurality of slice SLA indications.

Abstract: The present invention relates to managing a lifecycle of a managed entity inside an operator within a network slicing architecture. The managed entity is one amongst a sub-service or service, a NSI or slice, a NSSI or slice subnet and an infrastructure, and each one is respectively managed by a management function which provides the managed entity to a higher layer management function and is one amongst a SMF, a NSMF, a NSSMF and an IMF. The operator further comprises a delegation entity, which is configured to receive an incoming request from a customer outside the operator and/or from another operator, perform an analysis by analyzing the incoming request, delegate, based on the analysis, the incoming request to at least one of the management functions, and be an end-point providing a programmable interface into the operator in which it is hosted to any other entities external to said operator.

Abstract: Example network admission control methods and apparatus are described. In one example method, a first network entity of a first network sends a first request to a second network entity in at least one second network. The first request includes one or more of a request of a proposed adjustment of the at least one roaming budget of at least one roaming related parameter, a request of a new budget of the at least one roaming budget of at least one roaming related parameter, and a request of the admission control of the at least one roaming UE for the at least one network slice. The first network entity receives a first response from the second network entity, wherein the first response indicates whether the second network entity accepts or rejects the proposed adjustment of the at least one roaming budget.

Abstract: The present invention relates to multi-slice, multi-service-instance communication services, particularly to multi-slice, multi-service-instance assurance for Service level Agreement (SLA) and Quality of Service (QoS) requirement fulfilment. The invention presents a device for managing a service related to at least two network slices and to a corresponding method. The device is configured to obtain management data for the service from at least one of the slices, in particular one or more of the following: performance management (PM) data for the service, fault management (FM) data for the service, analytics data about the service. The device is further configured to evaluate at least one assurance indicator of the service based on the management data. Finally, the device is also configured to generate further management data, in particular configuration management (CM) data for modification of the service and/or at least one of the slices, according to the evaluation result.
