An apparatus comprising: at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code; the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to: receive () an indication indicating that positioning accuracy information associated with at least one potential future position of a terminal is to be provided to; and provide () the positioning accuracy information associated with the at least one potential future position of the terminal.

Positioning accuracy information

An apparatus comprising: at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code; the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to: determine () that at least one state of a network slice is to be adjusted in a limited geographical area of at least one network resource; and adjust () the at least one state of the network slice in the limited geographical area of the at least one network resource.

Apparatus, method, and computer program

There are provided measures for realization of service level agreements in network slice scenarios joining multiple network capabilities. Such measures exemplarily comprise, as a slice management entity, receiving a network resource combination request, transmitting a request for at least one area base unit fulfilling, receiving, from said area base units repository, area base units fulfilling said at least one predetermined criterion out of stored area base units, generating at least one area base units join, selecting at least one selected area base units join of said at least one area base units join such that a combination of join geographical areas of said at least one selected area base units join covers said slice geographical area, and combining said at least one selected area base units join as a network resource combination.

Realization of service level agreements in network slice scenarios joining multiple network capabilities

Cognitive functions in a network, each comprising a learning module adapted to observe characteristics of the network and an inference module adapted to conclude, from the characteristics observed by the learning module, on a behavior of the network resulting from the observed characteristics, are controlled by halting and/or restarting operation of the learning module of a cognitive function of the cognitive functions, where operation of the inference module of the cognitive function is controlled independently from the halting and/or restarting the operation of the learning module of the cognitive function.

Controlling cognitive functions in a network

Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for a service model management request. The method may include receiving an end-to-end network service model for network services. The method may also includes determining a set of domain services that are required to be able to provide an end-to-end network service defined by the end-to-end network service model. The method may further include checking whether at least one management domain is capable of providing the required set of domain services. The method may also include requesting, when the at least one management domain is not capable of providing the required set of domain services, to prepare the at least one management domain to become able to provide the required set of domain services. In addition, the method may include receiving a notification from the at least one management domain indicating an availability to provide the required set of domain services.

Service model management request

A management system includes a first management device storing information regarding: objects monitored by the first management device, objects monitored by a second management device and relationships between objects monitored by the first management device and objects monitored by the second management device. The first management device requests such information from the second management device. Using the information stored by the first management device and the information requested from the second management device, the first management device ascertains at least one relationship between at least one object monitored by the first management device and at least one object monitored by the second management device and which is stored either just by the first management device or just by the second management device.
