Abstract: Various communication systems may benefit from the appropriate selection of monitored parameters. For example, certain wireless communication systems may benefit from virtual network function indicator selection mechanisms that can be applied by a virtual network function manager. A method can include preparing an indicator declaration for an indicator value of a virtualized network function descriptor. The method can also include providing, in the indicator declaration, an indication of importance of the indicator value.

Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for virtualized network function (VNF) decomposition are provided. An embodiment of the invention includes to first decompose the Network Function into smaller blocks: application, platform, and resources (i.e., compute, network, and storage), then manage the decomposed application and platform parts by separate entities (e.g., EM/VNFM). This decomposition may be applied to the Network Elements (i.e., the current building blocks of telecommunication networks) and to the VNFs.
