According to an aspect, there is provided a method performed by a communication network for negotiating a data transfer between an application service and a user equipment, UE, via the communication network. The method comprises: receiving (), from the application service or a backend controller associated with the application service, a request for network capacity available for data transfer, wherein the request includes an indication of an amount of data to be transferred and one or more trajectories of the UE; determining () network capacity along the one or more trajectories based on load information associated with a radio access network, RAN, of the communication network; and sending (), to the application service or the backend controller associated with the application service, a response including information related the determined network capacity.

Application adaptation with exposure of network capacity

According to an aspect, there is provided a method performed by a communication network for negotiating a data transfer between an application service and a user equipment, UE, via the communication network. The method comprises receiving, from the application service or a negotiation function associated with the application service, a request for data transfer, wherein the request includes an indication of an amount of data to be transferred and one or more of the following: one or more service constraints associated with the data transfer; and a trajectory of the UE; obtaining predicted capacity for network resources needed to execute the data transfer according to the information included with the request; based on the predicted capacity, determining whether the request can be fulfilled according to the information included with the request; and sending a response to the request based on the result of the determination.

Predictive, cached, and cost-efficient data transfer

A method of allocating sidelink radio resources to a group of vehicles, in a telecommunication network, wherein vehicles within said group of vehicles intent to use said sidelink radio resources for vehicle-to-vehicle, V2V, communication, said method comprising the steps of receiving, by a V2V control entity residing in, or accessible via, a core network of said telecommunication network, a resource request, from said group of vehicles, for requesting radio resources to be used for said V2V communication, determining, by said V2V control entity, radio resources to be used for said V2V communication, transmitting, by said V2V control entity, to said group of vehicles, a resource grant comprising said determined radio resources.

A method by a first function implemented on a first network node is provided for dynamic service negotiation. The method includes transmitting a service description to a second function to enable optimized delivery of a service based on the service description by the second function. The service description includes information associated with one or more delivery requirements for the service.

Procedure for dynamic service negotiation

There is provided mechanisms for handling content delivery in a client node. A method being performed by the client node. The method comprises registering, by an application entity of the client node and with an MBMS entity of the client node, for enabling the client node to receive content delivered by encrypted unicast transmission and to receive the content delivered by broadcast transmission. The method comprises selectively controlling, by a trusted entity of the client node, reception of the content in a media player of the client node between reception of the encrypted unicast transmission and broadcast transmission depending on whether the content is available or not for reception on the broadcast transmission.
