METHOD, CONTROL UNIT AND NETWORK NODE FOR CONFIGURATION IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

A method in a control unit for configuration in a wireless communication system is provided. A service category is mapped to a virtual network instance based on service requirements of the service category, the virtual network instance having a first virtual network instance configuration for a current time interval, the first virtual network instance configuration defining a first allocation of resources in a plurality of network layers. A network state in a next time interval is predicted and it is determined if the predicted network state results in a predicted performance degradation in the next time interval. On condition that there is a predicted performance degradation, a second virtual network instance configuration is determined for the next time interval. The virtual network instance is configured based on the first network instance configuration or the second network instance configuration.
