Abstract: The invention provides a method for allocating communication resources in a communication network that comprises a number of different devices and utilizes different technologies. Information is collected of the number of devices of the network. The collected information is transformed from their formats to a common format. The common format makes it possible to handle efficiently all information. Current resources of the communication network and current use of the resources are determined utilizing the collected information in the common format. Alternative ways to use the resources are investigated instead of the current use, and a suggestion(s) is made to use at least one alternative way in case it is more efficient than the current use.

Abstract: Electronic arrangement (106) for dynamically reserving quota having regard to the capacity of one or more resources available in a communications network (110), comprises one or more data interfaces such as transceivers for transferring data, at least one processor for processing instructions and other data, and memory for storing the instructions and other data, said at least one processor being configured, in accordance with the stored instructions, to cause: receiving a quota request with indication of a requested extent of quota, wherein the quota request is further associated with all-or-none preference indicator as to whether the request should be fulfilled completely, obtaining an indication of a currently remaining, unused and unreserved, quota of an account associated with the quota request, determining whether and to which degree, including in full, in part and not at all, the request may be granted in terms of reserving the requested quota based on at least the requested extent, the remaining quota and the preference indicator, wherein the indicator is utilized in the determination so that indicated preference on complete fulfillment of quota request translates into reduced criterion in quota allocation and vice versa, and providing a response to the quota request indicative of extent of granted, reserved quota, if any, where the response optionally refers to a signaling message. A corresponding method (300) for reserving quota is presented.

Abstract: There is provided adaptive traffic processing in a communications network. Traffic flows from real- life traffic are detected, rules are applied to detected traffic flows, machine-learning based clustering of the detected traffic flows is performed, at least one new traffic rule is generated on the basis of one or more generated traffic clusters, the generated rules are simulated for obtaining a result indicating behavioural effect in the traffic of the communications network, the result is evaluated against one or more performance criteria of the communications network and the generated rules are applied if the performance criteria of the communications network have been met.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electronic arrangement for dynamically and automatically controlling the usage of software components in connection with a network function virtualization (NFV) platform in a communications network comprising a mobile network, the arrangement comprising at least one data interface for transferring data, at least one processing unit for processing instructions and other data, and memory for storing the instructions and other data, said at least one processing unit being configured, in accordance with the stored instructions, to cause: obtaining first information indicative of instantiated virtualized network functions (VNF) and licences associated therewith, and second information indicative of a VNF licence that is available for allocation to an instance of a related VNF in accordance with terms and conditions as stipulated by the VNF licence; determining, based on the obtained first and second information, whether a licence currently allocated to an existing instance of a VNF, or the existing VNF instance itself, is to be replaced with the available licence, or with a new instance of said related VNF associated with the available licence, respectively, wherein a number of selected criteria are utilized to compare the currently allocated licence with the available licence having regard to the concerned terms and conditions as well as network resource information including usage information regarding the existing instance of the VNF based on data obtained from the network; and responsive to a positive determination, allocating the available licence to the existing VNF instance or to said new instance of said related VNF that is instantiated, the licence currently allocated to the existing VNF instance being released and in the latter case also the existing VNF instance being de-instantiated.
