US 11,695,656 B2 · Method and apparatus for detecting service and analyzing service characteristic using NWDAF in mobile communication system

Abstract

The disclosure relates to a communication method and a system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. The disclosure relates to apparatuses and methods for detecting a specific service through a network data analytics function (NWDAF) in a mobile communication system and analyzing a characteristic related to the service.

Claims10

Dependent claims

A method of a first network entity performing a network data analysis function (NWDAF) in a mobile communication system, the method comprising:

receiving a request from a second network entity to analyze network performance by transmission path for a service;
performing the analysis of network performance for each transmission path for the service based on the request;
and
transmitting a result of the analysis to the second network entity,
wherein the transmission path is a transmission path between a third network entity performing a user plane function (UPF) and an external server providing the service, and
wherein the transmission path is related to data network access identifier (DNAI) information.
