Abstract
A method, apparatus, and computer program product relating to notification requests and callback requests in indirect communications are provided. In the context of a method, the method includes sending a service request for selection of a service consumer. The service request is one of a notification request or a callback request. The method further includes indicating a version of a programming interface configured to support the service request.
Claims17
An apparatus, comprising
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code;
- the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
- send, using indirect communication via a proxy, a service request for selection of a service consumer, said service request being one of a notification request or a callback request;
- and
- indicate, in a 3gpp-Sbi_callback header of said service request, a version of an application programming interface configured to support said service request, based on said version of the application programming interface being greater than a defined value,
- wherein a presence of said 3gpp-Sbi_callback header of said service request permits derivation by said proxy that said service request is one of said notification request or said callback request and differentiated treatment by said proxy_of said service request.

An apparatus, comprising
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code;
- the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
- receive a service request from a service producer, said service request comprising a 3gpp-Sbi_callback header,
- wherein said 3gpp-Sbi_callback header includes an indication of a version of an application programming interface configured to support said service request, based on said version of said application programming interface being greater than a defined value;
- derive said service request is one of a notification request or a callback request based on a presence of said 3gpp-Sbi_callback header;
- select a service consumer for said service request that is configured to support said version of said application programming interface;
- and
- send said service request to said service consumer,
- wherein said apparatus is configured as a proxy for indirect communication between said service producer and said service consumer.

A method, comprising
- receiving, at an apparatus, a service request from a service producer, said service request comprising a 3gpp-Sbi_callback header,
- wherein said 3gpp-Sbi_callback header includes an indication of a version of an application programming interface configured to support said service request, based on said version of said application programming interface being greater than a defined value;
- deriving, by said apparatus, said service request is one of a notification request or a callback request based on a presence of the 3gpp-Sbi_callback header;
- selecting, by said apparatus, a service consumer for said service request that is configured to support said version of said application programming interface;
- and
- sending, by said apparatus, said service request to said service consumer,
- wherein said apparatus serves as a proxy for indirect communication between said service producer and said service consumer.
