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 that availability information relating to (i) a specific resource associated with a specific network slice, (ii) a specific resource associated with a specific subnetwork and a specific network slice or (iii) a specific resource associated with a specific service and a specific network slice is to be requested by a first entity;
- and
- cause a request for availability information to be sent by the first entity to a second entity.
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:
- receive a request for availability information relating to (i) a specific resource associated with a specific network slice, (ii) a specific resource associated with a specific subnetwork and a specific network slice or (iii) a specific resource associated with a specific service and a specific network slice by a second entity from a first entity;
- and
- cause a response with availability information to be sent by the second entity to the first entity.
