Abstract
In order to allow a plurality of MNOs to share at least two of a radio access network (RAN) (100), a mobile backhaul network (MBH) (200), and a core network (CN) (300), a network control system (500) operates to enforce a network resource configuration to each of the at least two networks to be shared out of the RAN (100), the MBH (200), and the CN (300) in accordance with common resource partitioning information indicating slicing of network resources among the plurality of MNOs. It is thus possible to contribute to improving the efficiency of performing setting of network resource allocation on the at least two networks to be shared.
