A method performed by an agent for handling an event of a network service deployed in a cloud environment is provided. The agent is capable to access to a server in the cloud environment. The agent obtains information from the server. The information is about an event of the network service. When the network service relates to a Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) network, the agent decides whether to register network service with or without an associated address of a load balancer of the network service. The agent then registers in a core network node operating in the 3GPP network, the network service with or without an associated address of a load balancer of the network service according to the event and according to the outcome of the deciding.

Agent, server, core network node and methods therein for handling an event of a network service deployed in a cloud environment

The invention relates to an access manager, and a method performed by the access manager of transferring data in a wireless communication system comprising a control plane distributed over at least one first site and over at least one second site, wherein a session manager is arranged in the control plane of the second site and the access manager is arranged in the control plane of the first site, the first site being remote from the second site and located physically closer to a radio access network of the wireless communication system.

5G core network optimized local handover

It is disclosed a MPTCP capable system for reducing disconnection time for a MPTCP capable UE (), when it is leaving a coverage area of a second radio access type, when the second RAT typically has priority over the first RAT. This disclosure further comprises a controller of the second RAT (), a MPTCP capable network proxy node(), as well as a MPTCP network system therefore. In addition, methods and computer program in the respective arrangement are also presented.

Multi-path transmission control protocol

The present disclosure relates to a method performed in a Multipath Transmission Control Protocol (MPTCP) scheduler which is scheduling a TCP flow between a first peer and an MPTCP capable second peer. The method comprises setting up the TCP flow comprising at least two sub-flows connecting the MPTCP capable second peer, each sub-flow being associated with an address for the MPTCP capable second peer. The method also comprises receiving external information relating to at least one of the at least two sub-flows. The method also comprises scheduling data in the TCP flow based on the received external information, wherein the scheduling comprises choosing which sub-flow or sub-flows of the at least two sub-flows to schedule the data via, based on the received external information. The present disclosure also relates to an MPTCP scheduler as well as an MPTCP proxy and an MPTCP capable peer comprising such a scheduler.

MPTCP scheduling

A method and apparatus for addressing a message sent from a proxy node to a peer node in a communications network. The proxy node receives from a host node a plurality of multipath messages. Each message of the plurality of multipath messages has an address. The proxy node then applies a rule to assign an address for a single flow message towards the peer node. The single flow message comprises each message of the plurality of multipath messages. The single flow message is then sent towards the peer node.

Assigning addresses in a communications network

In conducting a communication session via an IP-based communication network, where access to the communication network can be obtained via a plurality of bearers (), a plurality of packet flows associated with a communication application () can be routed on respective ones of the bearers simultaneously.

Concurrent use of communication paths in a multi-path access link to an IP network

A method and system are disclosed whereby a mobile phone user can select one or more service preferences for the mobile phone from a simulated mobile phone display on an Internet web page. The user can access the web page from a personal or business computer. Once the selection has been made, the user can save the preferences to a server in the mobile phone network. The server contains (or provides links to) the full complement of services that are available for selection. The selected services' applications are downloaded from the server to the mobile phone (via the network) either immediately (if a network connection is already made) or the next time the phone is turned on. Consequently, the user can readily obtain the services desired, and also customize the display and &ldquo;look and feel&rdquo; of the mobile phone.
