Embodiment Construction

[0026] figure 1 An exemplary telecommunications network 100 is shown. The network 100 is a mobile cellular network comprising a plurality of user equipments (UEs) 110 (eg in the form of mobile cellular devices, laptops or tablets). Each UE 110 is configured to utilize the telecommunications network 100 by accessing a radio access network (RAN) 115 provided by a RAN access point 120 (eg, in the form of a macro, micro, pico or femto cell site). RAN access point 120 is in turn connected to the core of network 125 .

[0027] Core network 125 may be used to connect to remote networks and / or services 170, not just the Internet. Accordingly, multiple UEs 110-1 through 110-4 are also able to communicate with UE 110-5 on remote network 170.

[0028] The core network 125 in turn includes the following functional components:

[0029] • Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) 130;

[0030] · Network Slice Selection Function (NSSF) 135;

[0031] Competitive Characterization Funct...

Abstract

Disclosed is a method of managing a telecommunications network, the telecommunications network has a first user and a second user, and the method comprises the steps: ascertaining a competitive characteristic associated with the first user and a competitive characteristic associated with the second user (210); comparing the ascertained competitive characteristics (220); identifying whether there is a disparity between the competitive characteristics that exceeds a threshold (230), thereby to identify a competitive advantage associated with the first or second user; and if it is identified that the disparity exceeds the threshold, adapting a network configuration of a network connection associated with the first user so as to offset the competitive advantage associated with the first or second user (240).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method of managing a telecommunication network, in particular to a method of managing a telecommunication network to improve fairness among competing users; the invention also relates to a telecommunication network. Background technique [0002] In competitive multi-user activities performed over a network, where users with different skills and / or devices (e.g. hardware) play against each other (all other things being equal), unfairness (including user enjoyment unbalanced). However, in the limited pool of users wishing to engage in such activities, there may be no choice but to pit users with significantly different skills and / or equipment against each other. [0003] For example, where users with different abilities compete in a peer-to-peer online multiplayer game, where a team consists of users with significantly higher skill than other users, an imbalance may arise in the game. This may reduce fairness and user enjoyme...
