Abstract: An apparatus, method and computer program, are configured to serve a first logical radio network and a second logical radio network. Information on the first logical radio network is received, and at least one group of terminal devices associated with the first logical radio network is identified. An instruction is sent to a network function to establish a connection to the second logical radio network for the at least one group of terminal devices.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods in a communication system are provided. A method comprises receiving a service request comprising service requirements; determining, based on the service request, service level specification of the request, the service level specification comprising performance parameters and network functions to support the requested service; normalizing the determined service level specification by scaling the performance parameters according into a given normalization model of the network to obtain normalized service level specification; determining, based on the network functions and the given normalization model, normalized performance capability of the network functions and a configuration of a network slice supporting the requested service; comparing the normalized service level specification to the normalized performance capability; and determining, based on the comparison, whether the requested service can be realized with the network slice, and if so, create the slice.
