APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PERFORMING NETWORK FUNCTION MANAGEMENT AND DISCOVERY IN WIRELESS NETWORK - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18351136 titled 'APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PERFORMING NETWORK FUNCTION MANAGEMENT AND DISCOVERY IN WIRELESS NETWORK

Simplified Explanation

The disclosed patent application is about a communication system (5G or 6G) that supports a higher data transmission rate. It specifically focuses on methods for managing and discovering network functions (NF) in a wireless network.

  • The patent application describes a method for network function (NF) management and discovery in a wireless network.
  • The method involves a network repository function (NRF) device receiving a first registration request to register common data in a separate profile from a first NF instance entity.
  • The NRF device also receives a second registration request to register an NF instance profile from the first NF instance entity.
  • The NF instance profile includes NF instance specific data and a pointer for a profile of the common data.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Improved data transmission rate in 5G or 6G communication systems.
  • Enhanced network function management and discovery in wireless networks.
  • Efficient registration and organization of common data and NF instance profiles.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Inefficient management and discovery of network functions in wireless networks.
  • Lack of separate profiles for common data and NF instance profiles.
  • Difficulty in organizing and accessing NF instance specific data.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Higher data transmission rate in 5G or 6G communication systems.
  • Improved network function management and discovery efficiency.
  • Enhanced organization and accessibility of common data and NF instance profiles.


Original Abstract Submitted

The disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. Embodiments herein disclose methods for performing network function (NF) management and discovery in a wireless network. The method includes receiving, by a network repository function (NRF) device, a first registration request to register common data in a separate profile from a first NF instance entity, and receiving, by the NRF device, a second registration request to register an NF instance profile from the first NF instance entity. The NF instance profile includes NF instance specific data and a pointer for a profile of the common data.
