METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR NETWORK REPOSITORY FUNCTION (NRF) STATUS NOTIFICATION

Abstract

Methods and systems for notifying a network function (NF) regarding the status change of a network repository function (NRF) are disclosed. According to an implementation, the NRF may receive via a network and from an NF, a request to create a subscription to an event of the NRF. In the subscription data, the NF may identify the NRF of which, the status is requested to be monitored. The NF may also indicate one or more types of events on the NRF that are requested to be notified. The NRF may create, in a data storage, the subscription and assign a subscription ID to the subscription. The NRF may send a response to the request along with the subscription ID. Upon detecting an occurrence of the event that the NF subscribes to, the NRF may send a notification to the NF based on the subscription associated with the subscription ID.
