A method is disclosed for handling cloud computing resources in a wireless communication network comprising a first and a second access subnetwork providing wireless access to wireless communication devices residing in a first and a second geographic area, respectively, and a first and a second cloud computing resource connected to the first and the second access subnetwork, respectively. The method comprises obtaining mobility information over a time period for the wireless communication devices of when, during the time period, each of the devices has wireless access to the communication network via the first access subnetwork and when they have wireless access to the communication network via the second access subnetwork. The method also comprises selecting which of the first or second cloud computing resource that is to serve each of the devices based on the obtained mobility information, and sending an instruction to each of the devices to connect to a server that is connected to the selected cloud computing resource for that wireless communication device.

A user equipment (UE) a packet core system and method for common charging of network connectivity and cloud resource utilization for the UE. Upon receipt of a service request from the UE the packet core system sends a service definition of common network connectivity and cloud service classes. The UE sends a request for a network connectivity and cloud resource service with a common network connectivity and cloud service classes. The common class is translated into a first network connectivity class and a second cloud service class. A request for a cloud service comprising the second cloud service class is sent to a cloud node, and charging event is received from the cloud node. The charging event is merged with a charging event of network connectivity according to the first network connectivity class. A merged charging event, according to the requested common network connectivity and cloud service class, is achieved.

Apparatuses and methods for controlling a manner of delivering content to a content user in a mobile telecommunication network are provided. The content is sent to the content user using first a first transmission rate when the content user is in a first radio state and uses a first battery power, and then using a second transmission rate that is lower than the first transmission rate, when the content user is in a second radio state and uses a second battery power that is smaller than the first battery power. The sending is performed such as, (A) while delivering the content, an amount of the content already received by the content user to exceed an amount of the content used by the content user, and (B) to minimize an energy used by the content user during delivery.

A method is discussed for balancing processing loads to at least a first and a second VM instances associated with the same processing circuitry. Information about first and second applications respectively running on the first and second VM instances is obtained. Incoming data corresponding to a first and second pluralities of jobs to be performed respectively by the first and second VM instances is received. Based on the obtained information and on the received data, a first number of the first plurality of jobs which the first VM instance is allowed to perform is determined by means of the processing circuitry, and a second number of the second plurality of jobs which the second VM instance is allowed to perform is determined by means of the processing circuitry. The first VM instance is instructed to release the processing circuitry after having performed the determined first number of jobs to allow the second VM instance to use the processing circuitry for performing the second number of jobs.

A method performed by an Operation and Support System (OSS) node for handling communication between a wireless device and a communication network node in a communication network, which communication network comprises a first radio access node associated with a first gateway and a second radio access node associated with a second gateway. The OSS node determines to initiate a change of an Internet Protocol (IP) address for the wireless device. The OSS node further identifies a session of packets for the wireless device, which session is run over a protocol that supports session continuity even though source or destination IP addresses change in the packets. Furthermore, the OSS node triggers the change of the IP address associated with the first gateway for the wireless device, of packets of the session, to a changed IP address associated with the second gateway.
