NF DISCOVERY BETWEEN DIFFERENT NETWORKS SUCH AS DIFFERENT SNPNs - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240187972 titled 'NF DISCOVERY BETWEEN DIFFERENT NETWORKS SUCH AS DIFFERENT SNPNs

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of the patent application describes systems and methods for discovering network functions between different networks, such as stand-alone non-public networks. In one embodiment, a method involves a first network repository function (NRF) receiving a discovery request from a NF service consumer for NF profiles of instances deployed in a separate entity, identifying a second NRF based on the realm or domain name of the associated user equipment, and sending a discovery request to the second NRF for the NF profiles.

Original Abstract Submitted

systems and methods are disclosed for network function (nf) discovery between different network such as, e.g., different stand-alone non-public networks (snpns). in one embodiment, a method performed by a first network repository function (nrf) comprises receiving a discovery request from a nf service consumer for one or more nf profiles of one or more nf instances deployed in a separate entity, the discovery request comprising a realm or domain name of an associated user equipment (ue). the method further comprises identifying a second nrf in a separate entity based on the realm or domain name of the associated ue and sending a discovery request to the second nrf for the one or more nf profiles of the one or more nf instances deployed in the separate entity. corresponding embodiments of a first nrf are also disclosed.
