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: 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: There are provided measures for conflict resolution in a network virtualization scenario, wherein a virtualized network function is utilized by a first virtualized network service managed by a first network component and a second virtualized network service managed by a second network component. The measures comprise requesting, by the first network component, an alteration of the virtualized network function, transmitting information indicative of the alteration of the virtualized network function to the second network component, and determining when the alteration of the virtualized network function impacts the second virtualized network service.

Abstract: A method of object management comprises on a managed object instance, in response to receiving a request for a trace session from a trace user, determining the trace session associated with the managed object instance; generating a trace recording session in the trace session, the trace recording session indicating an event occurring after the request is received, the trace recording session being associated with the trace session; generating a trace record at least partially based on trace message in the trace recording session, the trace record being associated with the trace recording session; and generating a trace report at least partially based on the trace record, the trace report being associated with the managed object instance. In this way, the duty of the management plane and control/signalling plane will be separated and the architecture and interaction between management entities and network functions will be simplified.

Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for handling managed object priorities in a network, such as 5G are provided. One method includes receiving a constraint on a priority of a managed object, assigning a priority value satisfying the received constraint to an instance of the managed object, identifying a supporting resource for the managed object with the assigned priority value, and assigning a priority for the supporting resource, using the assigned priority value as a constraint.

Abstract: The present invention provides apparatuses, methods, computer programs, computer program products and computer-readable media regarding managing the graceful termination of a virtualized network function (VNF) instance. The method comprises receiving a request for a graceful termination of a virtual network function instance, transmitting the request for the graceful termination of the virtual network function instance to an element manager, checking, whether a confirmation that the virtual network function instance to be terminated has been taken out of service, is received, and if the confirmation is received, terminating the virtual network function instance.

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.
