    摘要: Systems and methods for handling of heterogeneous support for Slice Maximum Bit Rate (S-MBR) enforcement are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method performed in a core network of a cellular communications system comprises, at an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF), obtaining information about whether a Radio Access Network (RAN) node supports S-MBR enforcement and sending, to a Session Management Function (SMF), a message that comprises an indication of whether the RAN node supports S-MBR enforcement. The method further comprises, at the SMF, sending, to a Policy and Control Function (PCF), a message that comprises an indication of whether the RAN node supports S-MBR enforcement. The method further comprises, at the PCF, making a determination of whether to apply a mechanism to enforce S-MBR for Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session of a wireless communication device on a network slice based on the received indication, and operating accordingly.

    摘要: A technique for a device (100) to manage a data flow (608; 618) in a wireless communication system is described. As to a method aspect of the technique, a time period for which the data flow (608; 618) has been inactive is obtained. The data flow (608; 618) is defined by a Quality of Service, QoS, requirement of data associated with the data flow (608; 618). Based on the time period, it is determined to release a mapping between the data flow (608; 618) and a radio bearer (610).

    摘要: A computer implemented method for managing resources in a RAN of a communication network is disclosed. The method, performed by a first node in the RAN, comprises obtaining a record of resource status information describing usage, during a historical time period and within a coverage area of the first node, of RAN resources controlled by the first node (2102), and using an ML process to predict, based on the obtained record, resource status information describing usage of RAN resources controlled by the first node within a coverage area of the first node and during a future time period (2104). The method further comprises sending, to a second node in the RAN, a representation of the predicted resource status information (2106). Also disclosed is a method performed by a second node in which the second node uses a received representation of predicted resource status information for RAN resources controlled by a first node in a process relating to management of RAN resources controlled by the second node (2304).
