    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to performing mobile network configurations or changes. A first device is presented for performing the mobile network configuration or change, and a second device is presented for generating feedback for supporting the mobile network configuration or change. The first device is configured to send a support request to the second device, wherein the support request specifies a reusable or specific feedback type and a target information. The second device is configured to send reusable or specific feedback about the target information in response to the support request. The first device is then configured to determine a configuration or change of the mobile network based on the reusable or specific feedback. The reusable feedback includes a value or set of values of the target information and at least one coordination parameter indicating how the reusable feedback is to be used by multiple second devices.

    Abstract: The present application relates to a mobile core network (MCN) supporting end-to-end (E2E) network slicing, which comprises a controlling entity (CA_NF), one or more network function (NF) entities extended with functionalities (CA-NFExt), a network management entity (OSS) extended with functionalities (CA_OSSExt), and a coordination entity (CA_CF). The CA_NF communicates with the CA_OSSExt through the CA_CF using interfaces (If-CA_MP and If-CAC_OSS), and with the CA-NFExts using a respective interface (If-CA_NF) and/or other NFs interfaces. Based on information received from the OSS and the NF entities, the CA_NF generates a context with a certain type, sends, based on the generated context, context-related information towards entities impacted by the generated context amongst the NF entities and the OSS, and blocks, for a period of time, a transmission of any generated context towards the NF entities upon receiving, from the OSS, a notification message once the OSS decides to enforce a change.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a new generation mobile network, and particularly to the generation of analytics information in the network. To this end, the disclosure proposes a first network entity for generating the analytics information, and proposes a second network entity and a third network entity, respectively, for supporting the analytics generation. The first network entity is configured to obtain, from the second network entity or from one or more third network entities, past and/or current association information for an area of interest. Further, it is configured to provide analytics information based on the obtained association information for the area of interest. The past and/or current association information indicates one or more other network entities and/or network properties that, respectively, have been and/or are mapped to or serving the area of interest.
