Claim 18:
19. A communication method comprising:
converting a requirement of a service into a joint performance parameter for at least two network slice instances or at least two correlated communication traffic flows for the service;
determining at least two correlated communication traffic flows for a service,
wherein a joint quality of service (QoS) treatment is applied to the at least two correlated network slice instances or the at least two correlated communication traffic flows based on at least the joint performance parameter or binding information, and
wherein the at least two correlated communication traffic flows are correlated by the joint performance parameter; and

exposing binding information for use in managing the at least two correlated communication traffic flows using the joint performance parameter, wherein the binding information includes identification of the correlated communication traffic flows, wherein the at least two correlated communication traffic flows are bound at a network layer.
