Abstract

A method for operating a wireless network, which includes a management entity for managing the use of network resources, includes, by the management entity: performing a network traffic forecast for a time period, the network traffic forecast estimating expected traffic demands with a predefined or tunable confidence degree; dividing forecasted available network resources into one or more classes of traffic corresponding to different service qualities within the classes of traffic using the confidence degree; and defining and allocating at least one network resource slice of at least one of the one or more classes of traffic to operators and/or third parties for the time period considering a service level agreement (SLA) of incoming service requests.
