DYNAMIC DISCOVERY MECHANISM IN 5G SYSTEMS AND METHODS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240012675 titled 'DYNAMIC DISCOVERY MECHANISM IN 5G SYSTEMS AND METHODS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes systems and methods for dynamically managing network functions (NFs) in a network, specifically in a 5G network. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:
- The method involves creating a new NF that is associated with a specific region.
- It then iteratively queries one or more network repository functions (NRFs) to obtain lists of NFs associated with smaller regions, based on the response received from the previous query.
- Finally, the new NF is registered based on one or more responses received from the iterative queries.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Network management in 5G networks: This technology can be applied to efficiently manage and deploy network functions in a 5G network, ensuring optimal performance and resource allocation.
- Dynamic network scaling: The ability to dynamically instantiate and register NFs based on the specific regions allows for flexible scaling of network resources, adapting to changing demands and traffic patterns.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficient resource allocation: By dynamically managing NFs based on regions, the network can allocate resources more effectively, ensuring that each region has the necessary NFs to handle its specific requirements.
- Scalability: The iterative querying and registration process enables the network to scale up or down based on the demand in different regions, avoiding overprovisioning or underutilization of resources.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved network performance: By dynamically managing NFs, the network can optimize resource allocation, leading to improved performance and reduced latency.
- Flexibility and adaptability: The ability to instantiate and register NFs based on regions allows for flexible scaling and adaptation to changing network conditions and demands.
- Efficient resource utilization: By querying NRFs and registering NFs based on the responses, the network can ensure efficient utilization of resources, avoiding unnecessary duplication or wastage.
Original Abstract Submitted
systems and methods for dynamically managing network functions (nfs) in a network such as 5g network are disclosed. the method includes instantiating a new nf associated with a target region; iteratively querying one or more network repository functions (nrfs) for lists of nfs associated with smaller regions based on a preceding response; and registering the new nf based on one or more responses to the iterative queries.
