Abstract: The present invention addresses method, apparatus and computer program product for on demand virtual switching in 5th generation mobile networks. When a condition is detected that one or more user equipments need a network service, a locally switched or routed virtual network between the user equipments is created, on demand, within a radio access network. The network nodes of the radio access network serving the user equipments in the radio access network are selected and changed according to a movement of the user equipments by respectively employing the network nodes following a service policy.

Abstract: Improving user experience during handover. Transmitting by a source base station to a target base station a handover request message including a range of QoS profiles, receiving by the source bases station from the target base station a handover request acknowledge message indicating the radio resources or QoS profile selected from the range of QoS profiles, transmitting by the source base station station an identified resource gap between the selected QoS profile of the target base station and the currently used QoS profile in the source base station to an experience management entity.

Abstract: There are provided measures for improvements in dual connectivity for different access networks. Such measures exemplarily comprise providing control in a control plane for a terminal (UE) for access to a first access network (5G), wherein a coverage of the first access network (5G) at least partly overlaps a coverage of a second access network (4G), the terminal is capable of having access to the first access network (5G) and to the second access network (4G) in parallel, and access for the terminal to a respective access network (4G, 5G) is routed in a user plane via a respective distinct access network entity (eNB, SGAP) and to a respective (compatible) gateway (S-GW, uGW).

Abstract: Communication systems may benefit from connection setup improvements. For example, fifth generation communication systems may benefit from low latency service connection setup for 5G network terminal in new service areas. A method can include receiving an indication of preference for services from a 5G network terminal. The method can also include determining that the indication indicates a preference for low latency services. The method can further include determining whether the low latency services are offered in a tracking area of the 5G network terminal. The method can additionally include communicating with the 5G network terminal regarding the availability of the low latency services.
