Abstract:
It is provided a method, comprising determining a range of an attribute of an anomaly; checking if the range of the attribute of the anomaly overlaps with a range of a related attribute of a coordinated function instance; triggering to execute a coordination action on the coordinated function instance if the range of the attribute of the anomaly overlaps with the range of the related attribute of the coordinated function instance, wherein the related attribute of the coordinated function instance is the same as the attribute of the anomaly, or the related attribute of the coordinated function instance and the attribute of the anomaly correspond to each other.
Abstract:
In an example, a mobile network apparatus is configured to operations support systems, OSS, including at least one processor, and at least one memory storing program instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to: request, by a coordination function of the OSS, information relating to an uncoordinated function or an instance of an uncoordinated function, wherein the uncoordinated function or the instance of the uncoordinated function is related to the coordination function; receive, by the coordination function, a response including the information; based on the response, control, by the coordination function, the uncoordinated function or the instance of the uncoordinated function. In other examples, a method and a computer program product have been discussed along with the features of the mobile network apparatus.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses for SON and/or non-SON function coordination control have been provided. Specifically, embodiments have provided solutions for a second-party (e.g., operator), via an OAM interface like Itf-N or human interface, to control and manage a first-party (e.g., vendor) SCF, to ensure that the SCF makes coordination decisions on interacting SON functions according to the operator's requirements, even if the internal logic of the SCF is still not visible to the operator.
Abstract:
A method includes learning, by at least one device associated with a slice selection function, a slice reselection decision for at least one self-operation case. The method includes determining, by the at least one device associated with the slice selection function, whether an evaluation condition for at least one new self-operation case has been met. The at least one new self-operation case includes the at least one self-operation case. The method also includes requesting, at least one device associated with a management function, evaluate the at least one new self-operation case in response to determining that the evaluation condition has been met, receiving evaluation results from the at least one device associated with the management function, and learning the evaluation results.
Abstract:
A method comprises receiving at least one of a) usage condition information relating to one or more usage conditions of a user equipment and b) network performance information; and using said information to cause a change in one or more parameters which individually control a or said user equipment, said parameters being radio resource management parameters.
Abstract:
A method of adapting operation of self-organizing network functions in a communication network comprising a big data level system and a self-organizing network system and at least one network element is provided, wherein the method comprises adapting the operation of at least one self-organizing network function by using knowledge achieved by analysis performed on the big data level.
Abstract:
There is provided a method comprising receiving at least one request from a first function instance of a self-organising network, comparing said first function instance and a second function instance effective in the self-organising network to determine whether the first function instance and the second function instance overlap, and, characterised by, receiving operational stage information of the first function instance and if the first function instance and the second function instance overlap using said operational stage information in determining which of the first and second function instance to nm in dependence on which of the first function instance and the second function instance has higher priority and causing the determined instance to be run.
Abstract:
Access technology priority lists and related access list identifiers are maintained in a radio access system such that at least one access list identifier is associated with a plurality of access technology priority lists. Behaviour of at least one communication device in the radio access system is controlled by selecting one of the access technology selection priority lists based on information (such as load conditions or quality of service class) regarding an access list identifier and the radio access system.
Abstract:
In a first aspect, this specification describes a method which comprises including, in a network slice selection request, information indicative of a reason for making the network slice selection request. The method of the first aspect may, for instance, be performed by a user equipment (UE). In a second aspect, this specification describes a method which comprises determining a response to a network slice selection request from a UE based on information included in the network slice selection request that is indicative of a reason for making the network slice selection request. The method of the second aspect may, for instance, be performed by a network control function (e.g. a CCNF).
Abstract:
A method of coordinating a communication network comprising a self-coordination network coordinator is provided, wherein the method comprises receiving dynamic context information at the self-coordination network coordinator and performing a coordination of at least one self-organising network function instance based on the received dynamic context information.
