    摘要: A system, e.g., associated with a telecommunications network, includes first and second registry devices. In some examples, the first registry device receives a registration message. The second registry device receives a query specifying a type (NFType) of a network function and forwards the query to the first registry device based at least in part on the NFType. The first registry device responds, and the second registry device forwards the response. In some examples, the query specifies a service class and the second registry device forwards the query based at least in part on the service class. In some examples, the first registry device sends an indication of the registration to the second registry device, and the second registry device responds to the query based at least in part on the received indication and on at least one of an NFType or a service class of the query.

    摘要: The methods, systems, and computer readable media discussed herein are directed to maintaining status information of network functions (NFs) associated with one or more network function repository functions (NRFs). An NRF, which may be one of a plurality of NRFs belonging to a group of NRFs, maybe queried. The plurality of NRFs may be synchronized to each other, and the group of NRFs may be one of a plurality of groups of NRFs. One or more NFs may be registered with the NRF, and each NRF of the plurality of NRFs may have one or more corresponding NFs registered to it. The NRF may maintain status information of the one or more NFs registered to the NRF. The NRF may collect information associated with querying of NFs by another NF, and send statistical data based on the collected information to a user interface (UI) of an external device to be displayed on the UI.

    摘要: Controlling Network Repository Function (NRF) during discovery within a Fifth Generation (5G) network is described. In an example, the NRF can receive, from a Network Function (NF) consumer associated with the 5G network, a request for information associated with a NF producer type. The NRF can receive, from one or more NF producers associated with the NF producer type, indications of the NF producers and the NRF can generate a list of NF producers based at least in part on the indications. The NRF can select, based at least in part on a configurable parameter, a subset of the list of NF producers and send, responsive to receiving the request, the subset of the list of NF producers to the NF consumer.
