US 2026/0313044 A1 · FIRST NODE, FIRST SECOND NODE AND METHODS PERFORMED THEREBY, FOR HANDLING AN INTENT

Abstract

A computer-implemented method performed by a first node. The method may be understood to be for handling an intent. The first node obtains respective first information from one or more second nodes. The one or more second nodes operate in the communications network. The one or more second nodes are candidates to handle the intent in the communications network. The respective first information indicates: i) one or more respective first indications of a performance of the respective one or more second nodes, ii) one or more respective second indications of a respective context of the one or more respective first indications, and iii) one or more respective third indications of a respective estimate of an expected outcome of performing the intent. The first node then determines, based on the obtained respective first information, whether or not one of the one or more second nodes, is to handle the intent.

Dependent claims

A computer-implemented method performed by a first node, the method being for handling an intent, wherein first node operates in a communications network, the method comprising:

obtaining respective first information from one or more second nodes, the one or more second nodes operating in the communications network, the one or more second nodes being candidates to handle the intent in the communications network, the respective first information indicating:
one or more respective first indications of a performance of the respective one or more second nodes;
one or more respective second indications of a respective context of the one or more respective first indications;
and
one or more respective third indications of a respective estimate of an expected outcome of performing the intent;
and
determining, based on the obtained respective first information, whether or not one of the one or more second nodes, is to handle the intent.

4 more elements

A computer-implemented method performed by a first second node, the method being for handling an intent, first second node operating in a communications network, the method comprising:

providing respective first information to a first node operating in the communications network, wherein the first second node is one of one or more second nodes that are candidates to handle the intent in the communications network, the respective first information indicating:
one or more respective first indications of a performance of the first second node;
and
one or more respective second indications of a respective context of the one or more respective first indications;
and
one or more respective third indications of a respective estimate of an expected outcome of performing the intent.

3 more elements

A first node, for handling an intent, first node being configured to operate in a communications network, the first node being further configured to:

obtain respective first information from one or more second nodes, the one or more second nodes being configured to operate in the communications network, the one or more second nodes being configured to be candidates to handle the intent in the communications network, the respective first information being configured to indicate:
one or more respective first indications of a performance of the respective one or more second nodes;
one or more respective second indications of a respective context of the one or more respective first indications;
and
one or more respective third indications of a respective estimate of an expected outcome of performing the intent;
and
determine, based on the respective first information configured to be obtained, whether or not one of the one or more second nodes, is to handle the intent.
