Abstract
A method performed by a node for an Operations, Administration and Management (OAM) system includes maintaining information relating to at least one service provided by at least one node of the OAM system. The information is provided to a management function coupled to the OAM system. In this regard, the node communicates with the management function for sharing the information.
Claims17
A method performed by a node for an Operations, Administration and Management (OAM) system, the method comprising:
- receiving, from at least one management function node of the OAM system, profile information relating to at least one service provided by the at least one management function node of the OAM system for at least one of registering, updating, and deregistering the profile information;
- and
- transmitting, to a further management function node included in the OAM system, information of at least one instance of the at least one management function node of the OAM system and one or more of the at least one service which the at least one instance provides, based on the profile information, and
- wherein the node is included in the OAM system.
A method performed by a management function node included in an Operations, Administration and Management (OAM) system, the method comprising:
- retrieving, from a node of the OAM system via a service based architecture in the OAM system, profile information relating to at least one service provided by at least one further management function node of the OAM system,
- wherein the retrieving of the information relating to the at least one service is performed by discovering at least one instance of the at least one further management function node and one or more of the at least one service which is provided by the at least one instance.
A node for an Operations, Administration and Management (OAM) system, the node comprising:
- a memory storing instructions;
- and
- at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to:
- receive, from at least one management function node of the OAM system, a profile information relating to at least one service provided by the at least one management function node of the OAM system for at least one of registering, updating, and deregistering the profile information;
- and
- transmit, to a further management function node included in the OAM system, information of at least one instance of the at least one management function node of the OAM system and one or more of the at least one service which the at least one instance provides, based on the profile information, and
- wherein the node is included in the OAM system.
A management function node included in an Operations, Administration and Management (OAM) system, the management function node comprising:
- a memory storing instructions, and
- at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to:
- retrieve, from a node of the OAM system via a service management based architecture, profile information relating to at least one service provided by at least one further management function node of the OAM system, and
- wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to perform the retrieval of the profile information by discovering at least one instance of the at least one further management function node and one or more of the at least one service which is provided by the at least one instance.
