System and method for a service-based interface architecture

A method, comprising:

• configuring, by a performance indicator repository (PIR) device, a centralized performance indicator data store for a plurality of network function devices included in a telecommunications system,
• wherein the centralized performance indicator data store is accessible by the plurality of network function devices on a management bus of the telecommunications system via a service-based interface;
• subscribing, by the PIR device, the centralized performance indicator data store to a message class associated with performance indicator data that is generated by the plurality of network function devices;
• receiving, by the PIR device and from one or more of the plurality of network function devices, one or more published communications associated with the message class,
• wherein the one or more published communications include the performance indicator data,
• wherein receiving the one or more published communications comprises:
• receiving first performance indicator data from a first network function device, of the plurality of network function devices,
• wherein the first network function device uses a first operations, administration, and maintenance (OAM) interface, and
• receiving second performance indicator data from a second network function device, of the plurality of network function devices,
• wherein the second network function device uses a second, different OAM interface;
• and
• storing, by the PIR device, the first performance indicator data and the second performance indicator data in the centralized performance indicator data store such that at least one of:
• the first performance indicator data is accessible by the second network function device using a first resource identifier, associated with the first performance indicator data, published by the first network function device using the second OAM interface, or
• the second performance indicator data is accessible by the first network function device using a second resource identifier, associated with the second performance indicator data, published by the second network function device using the first OAM interface.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, the instructions comprising:

• one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
• configure a centralized performance indicator data store for a plurality of network function devices included in a telecommunications system,
• wherein the centralized performance indicator data store is accessible by the plurality of network function devices on a management bus of the telecommunications system via a service-based interface;
• subscribe the centralized performance indicator data store to a message class associated with performance indicator data that is generated by the plurality of network function devices;
• receive, from the plurality of network function devices, one or more published communications associated with the message class,
• wherein the one or more published communications are received on the management bus via the service-based interface, and
• wherein the one or more published communications include the performance indicator data,
• wherein the one or more instructions, that cause the one or more processors to receive the one or more published communications, cause the one or more processors to:
• receive first performance indicator data from a first network function device, of the plurality of network function devices, wherein the first network function device uses a first operations, administration, and maintenance (OAM) interface, and
• receive second performance indicator data from a second network function device, of the plurality of network function devices,
• wherein the second network function device uses a second, different OAM interface;
• and
• store the first performance indicator data and the second performance indicator data in the centralized performance indicator data store such that at least one of:
• the first performance indicator data is accessible by the second network function device using a first resource identifier, associated with the first performance indicator data, published by the first network function device using the second OAM interface, or
• the second performance indicator data is accessible by the first network function device using a second resource identifier, associated with the second performance indicator data, published by the second network function device using the first OAM interface;
• and
• perform, using the performance indicator data stored in the centralized performance indicator data store, at least one of:
• call modeling in the telecommunications system, or
• operation modelling in the telecommunications system.
