Abstract: There is provided an apparatus, said apparatus comprising means for receiving, from a session management node, burst timing information for a 5G ingress node, receiving burst timing adjustment capability information for an application from a function associated with the application, determining at least one of preferred burst arrival times and periodicity at the 5G ingress node for at least one periodic traffic stream from the application based on the burst timing information and burst timing adjustment capability information and providing an indication of the at least one of determined preferred burst arrival times and periodicity to the function.

Abstract: 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 (1100) that an aggregate bit rate for a network slice reached a threshold value; and adjust (1102) at least one of a maximum bit rate per terminal for the network slice or a maximum number of terminals allowed to operate on the network slice.

Abstract: It is provided a method comprising: checking whether a maximum data rate for a subscriber for a network slice is received; monitoring, if the maximum data rate for the subscriber for the network slice is received, whether a hypothetical total data rate of all flows of the subscriber for the network slice would exceed the maximum data rate for the subscriber for the network slice if a grant to transmit data were provided for the subscriber for packets belonging to the network slice; inhibiting providing the grant for the subscriber if the hypothetical total data rate of all flows of the subscriber for the network slice exceeded the maximum data rate of the network slice if the grant were provided.
