    Abstract: Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to devices, methods, apparatuses and computer readable storage media for fulfillment of service requirements. In a method at a service provider, knowledge about a plurality of network and management domains is collected, and service requirements from a service consumer are determined. Based on the service requirements from the service consumer and the collected knowledge about the plurality of network and management domains, a set of access network domains is selected from a plurality of access network domains to provide a service area for the service consumer. At an access domain, mapping of at least a part service area to tracking areas is determined to fulfill the service requirements from the service consumer. Thus, the service provision for a service consumer may consider network characteristics such as mobility, load, performance, configurations, topology or the like, which is more efficient.

    Abstract: There are provided measures for realization of service level agreements in network slice scenarios joining multiple network capabilities. Such measures exemplarily comprise, as a slice management entity, receiving a network resource combination request including information on demand network capabilities and demand network features over a slice geographical area, transmitting, to an area base units repository, a request for at least one area base unit fulfilling at least one predetermined criterion in relation to said network resource combination request, receiving, from said area base units repository, area base units fulfilling said at least one predetermined criterion out of stored area base units, generating at least one area base units join (wherein each of said at least one area base units join includes a combination of at least one area base unit of said area base units, for each of said at least one area base units join, combined network capabilities of said combination of said at least one area base unit are the same over a join geographical area corresponding to said area base units join and combined network features of said combination of said at least one area base unit are uniform over said join geographical area corresponding to said area base units join, and for each of said at least one area base units join, said combined network capabilities and network features of said combination of said at least one area base unit meet said demand network capabilities and demand network features over said join geographical area corresponding to said area base units join), selecting at least one selected area base units join of said at least one area base units join such that a combination of join geographical areas of said at least one selected area base units join covers said slice geographical area, and combining said at least one selected area base units join as a network resource combination.

    Abstract: Information regarding disjoint transport paths of a transport network is acquired (S501). Based on the acquired information, a user plane node of a plurality of user plane nodes of a core network is selected (S503), from which at least one of the disjoint transport paths is reachable, wherein the user plane node is selected as an endpoint of at least one tunnel out of at least two tunnels to be established for a packet data unit, PDU, session to carry traffic between the user plane node and an access node of an access network, wherein the at least two tunnels are to be set up by mapping the at least two tunnels to the disjoint transport paths.
