Abstract: The present invention relates to managing a lifecycle of a managed entity inside an operator within a network slicing architecture. The managed entity is one amongst a sub-service or service, a NSI or slice, a NSSI or slice subnet and an infrastructure, and each one is respectively managed by a management function which provides the managed entity to a higher layer management function and is one amongst a SMF, a NSMF, a NSSMF and an IMF. The operator further comprises a delegation entity, which is configured to receive an incoming request from a customer outside the operator and/or from another operator, perform an analysis by analyzing the incoming request, delegate, based on the analysis, the incoming request to at least one of the management functions, and be an end-point providing a programmable interface into the operator in which it is hosted to any other entities external to said operator.

Abstract: An edge computing (EC) entity belongs to an EC system, and a mobile communication core MCC entity belongs to a MCC system, like a 3GPP system. The EC entity is configured to obtain topology information of the EC system, and expose the topology information to another network, in particular to a MCC system. The MCC entity is configured to receive topology information of an EC system from the EC entity, and provide the topology information to a network exposure function (NEF) or to a policy control function (PCF) of the MCC system.

Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention relates to an operator management system in a first administrative domain for supporting a user roaming from the first administrative domain to a second administrative domain within a network architecture. The network architecture comprises a collection of interconnected network functions deployed in a control plane and a user plane, and the interconnected NFs comprise at least core network control plane functions and a core network user plane function. The OMS in the first administrative domain is configured to generate and issue to an OMS in the second administrative domain, a roaming management request for roaming a user from the first administrative domain to the second administrative domain, over an inter-operator management interface, and configured to instruct the OMS in the second administrative domain to configure the second administrative domain based on the roaming management request to support the user roaming.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a network operator (OMS), a teleoperation application (TOApplication) and an application (TODriver) for a teleoperable vehicle. The OMS is capable of creating a network slice for teleoperating a teleoperable vehicle along at least one route, receiving, from the TOApplication, a slice configuration request comprising the QoS for the at least one route, and configuring the network slice to support the QoS for the at least one route. The TOApplication is capable of communicating, towards the OMS, a request for creating the network slice, receiving, from the teleoperable vehicle, a teleoperation service request comprising a set of teleoperation configurations, mapping each teleoperation configuration to a respective QoS, and sending the slice configuration request comprising the QoS to the OMS. The TODriver is capable of sending the teleoperation service request to the TOApplication, and controlling the route to be followed by the teleoperable vehicle based on information from the TOApplication.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to network slicing, in particular, in 5G networks systems. The disclosure is concerned with network slice enablement for (vertical) applications. Thus, an entity for inter-operation between a network system and at least one application is provided. The entity provides a request to the network system, for selection and/or adjustment of a network slice instance (NSI) providing one or more services to the at least one application. The request comprises a set of requirements for the at least one application and/or the one or more services. The set of requirements comprises a required configuration or adaption of at least one NSI related parameter. The entity further receives a response to the request from the network system. The response indicates a decision of the network system regarding the selection and/or adjustment of the NSI.
