Abstract
An application function (AF) device may identify a user equipment (UE) and may send, to a network exposure function (NEF) device, a battery level request message concerning a battery of the UE. The AF device may obtain, from the NEF device, based on sending the battery level request message, a battery level report, and may cause, based on the battery level report, at least one action to be performed.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- sending, by a first device, a battery level request message concerning a battery of a user equipment (UE),
- wherein sending the battery level request message causes an update to a profile associated with the UE, to indicate a subscription to battery level information of the UE;
- receiving, by the first device and based on sending the battery level request message, a battery level report concerning the battery of the UE,
- wherein the battery level report is identified in an additional registration request message based on the additional registration request message being parsed by a second device to identify the battery level report and to identify information associated with the UE,
- wherein the additional registration request message is different from an initial registration request message received by the second device,
- wherein a UE profile update request message is generated by the second device based on the information associated with the UE, and
- wherein the UE profile update request message is sent by the second device;
- and
- sending, by the first device and based on the battery level report, one or more instructions to a third device to allow at least one action to be performed.
6 more elements
A device, comprising:
- one or more processors configured to:
- generate, based on profile information of a user equipment (UE) and an initial registration request message received from the UE, a registration accept message that includes a battery level report request concerning a battery of the UE;
- send the registration accept message to the UE;
- receive an additional registration request message that includes a battery level report concerning the battery of the UE;
- identify the battery level report in the additional registration request message,
- wherein the additional registration request message is different from the initial registration request message, and
- wherein identifying the battery level report comprises:
- parsing the additional registration request message to identify the battery level report and information associated with the UE;
- generating, based on the information associated with the UE, a UE profile update request message;
- and
- sending the UE profile update request message;
- and
- send the battery level report to another device that allows at least one action to be performed based on the battery level report.
10 more elements
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:
- generate, based on profile information of a user equipment (UE) and an initial registration request message received from the UE, a registration accept message that includes a battery level report request concerning a battery of the UE;
- send the registration accept message to the UE;
- receive an additional registration request message that includes a battery level report concerning the battery of the UE;
- identify the battery level report in the additional registration request message,
- wherein the additional registration request message is different from the initial registration request message, and
- wherein identifying the battery level report comprises:
- parsing the additional registration request message to identify the battery level report and information associated with the UE;
- generating, based on the information associated with the UE, a UE profile update request message;
- and
- sending the UE profile update request message;
- and
- send the battery level report to another device that allows at least one action to be performed based on the battery level report.
