Abstract: A method and apparatus for efficient and dynamic support of mobile low latency services including maintaining, by a control plane entity of an inter mobile device information exchange service hosting management functionality for said service, information on a plurality of participants of said service in a service area. A forwarding rule indicative of forwarding messages related to said service from a sender participant of said plurality of participants to a receiver participant of said plurality of participants is generated based on said information on said plurality of participants of said service in said service area. The forwarding rule is transmitted to a user plane entity of said service, and said user plane entity is located in a connection path between said control plane entity and said first participant of said service and in a connection path between said control plane entity and said second participant of said service.

Abstract: There are provided measures for efficient and dynamic support of mobile low latency services. Such measures exemplarily comprise receiving, by a user plane entity of an inter mobile device information exchange service, from a control plane entity of said service hosting management functionality for said service, a forwarding rule for forwarding messages related to said service between participants of said service, wherein said user plane entity is located in a connection path between said control plane entity and a first participant of said service and in a connection path between said control plane entity and a second participant of said service, storing said forwarding rule in a rule storage, wherein each of forwarding rules stored in said rule storage is indicative of forwarding messages related to said service from a respective sender participant of said service to a respective receiver participant of said service, receiving a message from said first participant of said service, said message being indicative of said first participant of said service and said service, deciding whether to forward said message to said second participant of said service based on said forwarding rule, and forwarding, upon affirmative result of said deciding, said message to said second participant of said service.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus are provided, by which control in a virtual network is performed, in which resources of a network are modeled, wherein the control of the virtual network is carried out according to a first network protocol. Moreover, a network interface is provided between the virtual network and the network the resources of which are modeled. A control part of a network resource is provided in the virtual network, the control part and the network resource requiring a second network protocol for exchanging control signaling. Control information according to one of the first and second network protocols, which are destined to the network element, is encapsulated in control signaling of another one of the first and second network protocols, and the control signaling is sent to the on the network interface to a network control element, which de-capsulates the encapsulated control information from the received control signaling, and forwards the detected control information to the network resource.

Abstract: A network entity of a communication network receives a first message from a user equipment, the first message including at least first information regarding a domain name server query. In accordance with a first handling rule, the first message is processed by including second information regarding a subnet option into the first message, and the processed first message is forwarded to a domain name server. The network entity receives a second message from the domain name server, the second message including a response to the domain name server query and the second information. In accordance with a second handling rule, the second message is processed by replacing the second information, and the processed second message is forwarded to the user equipment.
