Abstract: Various methods are provided for enabling the application of machine learning to network management and in particular to enabling cognitive network management in radio access networks. One example method may comprise interpreting one or more operator goals for the CNM or for a specific CF to ensure that the specific CF adjusts its behavior in order to fulfil the operator goals, abstracting an environment into states configured for use in subsequent decision making, wherein the abstracted environment represent are built from one or more of a combination of quantitative KPIs, abstract state labels, and operational contexts, defining legal candidate network configurations for different contexts of the CF based on the abstracted environments and operational contexts as inferred by the EMA engine, and matching a current abstract state, abstracted environment, or operational context as derived by the EMA engine to an appropriate network configuration selected from the set of legal candidate network configurations.

Abstract: It is provided a method, comprising qualitatively checking if an infrastructure provides all features required to fulfill a request to set up a network slice instance; quantitatively checking if an available capacity of the infrastructure is sufficient to fulfill the request to set up the network slice instance; inhibiting the quantitative checking if, according to the qualitative checking, the infrastructure does not provide all the features required to fulfill the request to set up the network slice instance.
