Abstract
A network node in a cellular communication network maintains a record of border cells of network slices. A change in the cells active in the network is then determined. The record of border cells of network slices is then updated based on said change in the cells active in the network.
Claims18
A method of monitoring cells in a cellular communication network, the method comprising:
- maintaining a record of border cells of at least one network slice;
- determining a change in the cells active in the network;
- and
- updating said record of border cells of the at least one network slice based on said change in the cells active in the network.
A network node for a cellular communication network, the network node comprising a processor and a memory, the memory containing instructions executable by the processor, wherein the memory is operative to:
- maintain a record of border cells of at least one network slice;
- and
- wherein the processor is operative to:
- determine a change in the cells active in the network;
- and
- update said record of border cells of at least one network slice based on said change in the cells active in the network.
A computer program product, comprising a tangible computer readable medium, containing computer readable instructions for causing a processor to perform a method comprising:
- maintaining a record of border cells of at least one network slice;
- determining a change in the cells active in the network;
- and
- updating said record of border cells of at least one network slice based on said change in the cells active in the network.
