Abstract: Communication systems may benefit from connection setup improvements. For example, fifth generation communication systems may benefit from low latency service connection setup for 5G network terminal in new service areas. A method can include receiving an indication of preference for services from a 5G network terminal. The method can also include determining that the indication indicates a preference for low latency services. The method can further include determining whether the low latency services are offered in a tracking area of the 5G network terminal. The method can additionally include communicating with the 5G network terminal regarding the availability of the low latency services.

Abstract: The present invention addresses method, apparatus and computer program product for on demand virtual switching in 5th generation mobile networks. When a condition is detected that one or more user equipments need a network service, a locally switched or routed virtual network between the user equipments is created, on demand, within a radio access network. The network nodes of the radio access network serving the user equipments in the radio access network are selected and changed according to a movement of the user equipments by respectively employing the network nodes following a service policy.

Abstract: A method including obtaining information including at least one indicator at a first cell; and using said information to determine the available capability of said first cell for load balancing between said first cell and at least one second cell in a self-organising network.

Abstract: A method, a system, apparatuses and computer programs all select at least one wireless network via a mobile apparatus. The mobile apparatus may detect the available wireless networks and may send a first list containing information of at least a part of the available wireless networks to a network apparatus. The network apparatus may elect from the first list at least one wireless network and may transmit a second list, containing the at least one elected wireless network, back to the mobile apparatus. The mobile apparatus may then perform the network selection taking the received second list into account.
