Abstract: Disclosed is a method comprising obtaining historical data from a plurality of access nodes comprised in a network, determining, for at least one of the plurality of access nodes, a region comprising a set of values for threshold pairs that comprise minimum and maximum threshold pairs, determining, from the region, one threshold pair, wherein the threshold pair defines pre-determined thresholds for determining if a cell is to be switched on or switched off, providing the threshold pair to the network for deployment, and collecting data regarding at least one key performance indicator from the plurality of access nodes.

Abstract: A method and an arrangement in a mobile communication network infrastructure are provided. The solution comprises implementing (300) core network and radio access network parts of the mobile communication network utilising a single layer of virtualized network function (VNF) components, where a given VNF component is designated to serve a given user equipment. At least part of traffic directed to given user equipment is routed (302) through a routing arrangement comprising a set of routers to the VNF component serving the user equipment. When the VNF component serving the user equipment is changed, the routing arrangement is updated (304) with the change.

Abstract: A method comprises selecting, for at least a part of a set of data to be transmitted to a user equipment in cell, a bit rate, said bit rate being selected in dependence on radio conditions associated with said user equipment in said cell.

Abstract: A method of enhancing processing capabilities in a communications network is provided. The method includes receiving a request to process a mobile station at a first control node of the network, detecting that the mobile station requires processing support, and assigning at least a part of processing of the mobile station to a second control node capable of handling the processing. The first control node configures the second control node over an interface between the control nodes, and the assigning includes routing data traffic from the mobile station through the second control node after the first control node has configured the second control node over an interface between the control nodes.
