    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: A device translates between a first communication network, in particular a deterministic communication network, and a second communication network, in particular a mobile communication network, in particular a 5G communication network. The device is configured to execute an application function that is configured to translate between Quality-of-Service, QoS, parameters of the first communication network and QoS parameters of the second communication network. A QoS profile includes the QoS parameters of the first communication network translated by the application function and, optionally, additional QoS parameters originating from the second communication network. The device is further configured to execute a signaling procedure configured to exchange the translated QoS parameters within the second communication network.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method and an apparatus (100) for improving a mobile network system, in particular a 4G or 5G system. The apparatus (100) is configured to support multiple Quality of Service (QoS) levels (101) for a session (102) related to an application (103) or a service. In particular, the apparatus (100) may comprise an Application Function, AF, (200) and a Policy Control Function, PCF, (201), wherein the AF (200) is configured to request (202) from the PCF (201) to configure the multiple QoS levels (101) for the session (102). Advantageously, the apparatus (100) may switch from a current QoS level (101) for the session (102) to another QoS level (101) for the session (102) in case of a modification of the session (102), in particular if one or more parameters of the session (102) are modified.

    Abstract: A control entity for controlling a communication service of a mobile communication network includes a first communication interface configured to obtain a group quality of service (QoS) treatment requirement for group QoS treatment of a traffic group including one or more communication services in the mobile communication network. The control entity also includes a processor configured to generate one or more QoS flow groups and a corresponding group QoS treatment policy for each QoS flow group based on the obtained group QoS treatment requirement and the traffic group. Each QoS flow group includes at least one of the communication services. The control entity further includes a second communication interface configured to provide QoS group information to one or more network entities in the mobile communication network. The QoS group information includes a QoS flow group identifier and the group QoS treatment policy for a corresponding QoS flow group.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to communication methods and communication apparatuses. One example method includes receiving a request message from a service request network element, where the request message is used to request information about a target data analytics network element, the request message includes a first analytics identifier and information about a first service, and the target data analytics network element supports an analytics type corresponding to the first analytics identifier and the first service. The target data analytics network element is determined based on the first analytics identifier, the information about the first service, and association information between the first analytics identifier and the first service that corresponds to the target data analytics network element. Information about the target data analytics network element is sent to the service request network element.
