Abstract
The disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. A method of operating a management service (MnS) in a communication system supporting a plurality of architectures according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes identifying an architecture supported by a first instance which is running and a list of functions for the architecture, determining whether to use the first instance based on a result of the identification and a requirement for service provision, and terminating the first instance and generating a second instance in case that the MnS determines not to use the first instance.

A method for operating a management service (MnS) in a communication system supporting a plurality of architectures, the method comprising:
- identifying an architecture supported by a first instance that is running and a list of functions for the architecture;
- determining whether to use the first instance based on the architecture and a requirement for a service provision initiated by the MnS;
- managing a look up table (LUT) providing, for each endpoint, an instance identifier (ID), at least one process ID corresponding to the instance ID, a list of provided functions, and an entity type;
- and
- terminating the first instance and generating a second instance based on the LUT in case that the MnS determines not to use the first instance.
A management service (MnS) device in a communication system supporting a plurality of architectures, the MnS device comprising:
- a transceiver;
- and
- a controller comprising one or more processors, the controller coupled with the transceiver and configured to:
- identify an architecture supported by a first instance that is running and a list of functions for the architecture,
- determine whether to use the first instance based on a result of the identification and a requirement for a service provision initiated by the MnS device,
- manage a look up table (LUT) providing, for each endpoint, an instance identifier (ID), at least one process ID corresponding to the instance ID, a list of provided functions, and an entity type, and
- terminate the first instance and generate a second instance based on the LUT in case that the MnS determines not to use the first instance.
