Abstract: Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to devices, methods and computer readable storage media for service provisioning to facilitate analysis of a service from a network function (NF). In example embodiments, one or more logs are received from at least one of a first NF, a network repository function (NRF) and a service communication proxy (SCP). The one or more logs are associated with a service from a second NF. Further, analysis of provision of the service from the second NF is facilitated based on the one or more logs.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product receive a traffic redundancy indication from a user equipment in a communication network or from a policy controller. The method, apparatus and computer program product determine whether traffic redundancy is needed for the radio access network and the user plane function based on the traffic redundancy indication. The method, apparatus and computer program product request the radio access network to not establish redundancy mechanisms in a circumstance where traffic redundancy is not needed for the radio access network. The method, apparatus and computer program product request the user plane function to not establish redundancy mechanisms in a circumstance where traffic redundancy is not needed for the user plane function.

Abstract: If a first condition for a handover of an analytics calculation for a user equipment by an analytics function is met, the analytics function requests, of at least one other analytics function of the communication network, preparation of the handover of the analytics calculation. If a second condition for the handover of the analytics calculation is met, the analytics function confirms the handover to one of the at least one other analytics function, the analytics calculation for the user equipment at the analytics function being deemed complete.
