Patent number: 11652708Abstract: In a communication system, a first network node is configured to execute at least one service application executing a first service and at least one analytics application executing at least part of a distributed analytics service. The first network node obtains information about a new telecommunication service and transmits, to a second network node in the communication system, a request for a policy for the new telecommunication service. The first network node receives, from the second network node, the policy for the new telecommunication service and updates a currently applied policy on the basis of the received policy. The updated policy rebalances resources allocated from a shared computing resource pool of the first network node between the new telecommunication service and the at least one analytics application such that the new telecommunication service maintains adherence to the one or more requirements of a service level agreement.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2022Date of Patent: May 16, 2023Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Nicolas Seyvet, Jawwad Ahmed, Rickard Cöster, Andreas Johnsson, Tony Larsson, Ignacio Manuel Mulas Viela
