Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for utilizing uplink (UL) CoMP helper data are provided. One method includes setting, by a network node serving a user equipment, a priority for a helper data request of an uplink transmission of the user equipment. The setting may include setting the priority based on a specific history of the user equipment. The method may also include sending the helper data request to another network node and, optionally, sending the priority set for the helper data request to said another network node.

Abstract: Various communication systems may benefit from appropriate prioritization of users and/or devices. For example, wireless communication systems may benefit from multi-subscription network prioritization, such as systems for prioritizing subscribers with multiple subscriptions that are using fewer devices than they have subscriptions. A method can include determining that a device is associated with a plurality of subscriptions. The method can also include determining at least one related device is not in use, wherein the at least one related device is associated with same plurality of subscriptions. The method can further include assigning a higher priority to the device based on the determinations that the device has the plurality of associated subscriptions and has at least one related device not in use.

Abstract: Certain example embodiments may generally relate to multi-security levels/traffic management across multiple network function instantiations, including virtualized network function instantiations. A method may include configuring a first instantiation of a first network function to provide a first type of security. The method may also include configuring a second instantiation of the first network function to provide a second type of security that is different than the first type of security. The method may further include allocating at least some of the subscriber traffic to the first instantiation.
