Method and System for Data Access Authorization Via a Data Collection Coordination Function - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18259926 titled 'Method and System for Data Access Authorization Via a Data Collection Coordination Function
Simplified Explanation
The invention described in the abstract is a method for a data consumer network function (NF) in a communication network to collect data from a data producer NF. The method involves sending a request for an access token to a network repository function (NRF) in the communication network, receiving at least one access token from the NRF for a service provided by a data collection coordination function (DCCF), and using the access token to collect data from the data producer NF via the DCCF service.
- Simplified Explanation:
- Method for a data consumer NF to collect data from a data producer NF in a communication network. - Request access token from NRF for DCCF service. - Receive access token from NRF. - Use access token to collect data from data producer NF via DCCF service.
Potential Applications: - Data collection and analysis in communication networks. - Network optimization and performance monitoring.
Problems Solved: - Efficient data collection from multiple sources. - Secure access to data producer NF.
Benefits: - Streamlined data collection process. - Enhanced network performance monitoring.
Potential Commercial Applications: - Telecommunications companies. - Data analytics firms.
Possible Prior Art: - Prior methods for data collection in communication networks. - Existing systems for access token management.
Unanswered Questions: 1. How does the method ensure the security of the data collected from the data producer NF? 2. Are there any limitations to the scalability of this method when collecting data from multiple data producer NFs simultaneously?
Original Abstract Submitted
The invention relates to a method for a data consumer network function, NF, of a communication network to collect data from a data producer NF, the method comprising: o sending (), to a network repository function, NRF, in the communication network, a request for an access token for a service provided by a data collection coordination function, DCCF, in the communication network; o receiving (), from the NRF, at least one access token for the service provided by the DCCF; and o using () the at least one access token, collecting data from the data producer NF in the communication network via the DCCF service.
