METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IMPROVEMENTS IN APPLICATION DISCOVERY AND EVENT EXPOSURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18519717 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IMPROVEMENTS IN APPLICATION DISCOVERY AND EVENT EXPOSURE

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure describes a communication method and system for integrating a 5G communication system with IoT technology to support higher data rates.

  • Network data analytics function (NWDAF) entity supports user equipment (UE) data collection for analytics.
  • NWDAF receives a request from a service consumer network function (NF) entity for UE data collection, including analytics filter information.
  • NWDAF discovers an application function (AF) entity that provides UE data collection based on AF profiles.
  • NWDAF determines a list of subscription permanent identifiers (SUPIs) based on analytics filter information from AMF or SMF entity.
  • NWDAF transmits a request to AF entity for subscription to UE data collection, associated with a list of UEs related to the SUPIs.
  • NWDAF receives a notification from AF entity on processed data collected according to the subscription.

Potential Applications

  • Enhanced data collection and analytics in 5G networks.
  • Improved support for IoT devices in high-speed communication systems.

Problems Solved

  • Efficient data collection and analysis for network optimization.
  • Seamless integration of IoT devices with 5G technology.

Benefits

  • Higher data rates and improved network performance.
  • Enhanced user experience with IoT devices in 5G networks.

Potential Commercial Applications

  • Telecommunications companies for network optimization.
  • IoT device manufacturers for improved connectivity.

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to data analytics and IoT integration in communication systems, but specific examples are not provided in the abstract.

Unanswered Questions

== How does the NWDAF entity determine the list of SUPIs for UE data collection? The abstract mentions that the NWDAF entity determines a list of subscription permanent identifiers (SUPIs) based on analytics filter information, but it does not detail the specific process or criteria used for this determination.

== What types of data analytics and processing are performed on the collected data? The abstract mentions that the AF entity provides UE data collection based on AF profiles, but it does not specify the types of analytics or processing that are performed on the collected data.


Original Abstract Submitted

The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of things (IoT). A method, by a network data analytics function (NWDAF) entity, for supporting user equipment (UE) data collection from a UE, includes receiving, from a service consumer network function (NF) entity, a first request for the UE data collection for analytics, the first request including analytics filter information, discovering an application function (AF) entity that provides the UE data collection based on AF profiles of the AF entity, determining a list of subscription permanent identifiers (SUPIs) from at least one of an access and mobile management function (AMF) entity and a session management function (SMF) entity based on the analytics filter information, transmitting, to the AF entity, a second request for a subscription to the AF entity for the UE data collection, wherein the subscription is associated with a list of UEs related to the determined list of the SUPIs, and receiving, from the AF entity, a notification on processed data collected according to the subscription.
