Method for synchronizing context data of network functions in a mobile network

A non-transitory recording medium readable by a computer on which is recorded a computer program (PG1) comprising instructions for performing a method of synchronization when the instructions are executed by a processor of a first device, the method being implemented, in a mobile network, by the first device hosting a network function serving for connection of a mobile terminal to the mobile network, said mobile network comprising at least one second device hosting said network function, the method comprising the following acts:

• establishing a connection with the mobile terminal so as to execute, as main device, the network function in association with said mobile terminal;
• determining context data associated with the mobile terminal, said context data being data taken as input by the network function in order to execute;
• recording the context data in a memory associated with said first device;
• and
• dispatching the context data to the at least one second device, termed a secondary device, hosting said network function in said mobile network so as to synchronize the context data recorded by the first device and said at least one secondary device.

A first device hosting a network function in a mobile network, said mobile network comprising at least one second device hosting said network function, said network function serving for connection of a mobile terminal to the mobile network, the first device comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon, which when executed by the processor configure the first device to perform acts comprising:
• establishing a connection with the mobile terminal so that said first device executes, as main device, the network function in association with said mobile terminal;
• determining context data associated with the mobile terminal, said context data being data taken as input by the network function in order to execute;
• recording the context data in a memory associated with said first device;
• and
• dispatching the context data to at least one second device, termed a secondary device, hosting said network function in said mobile network so as to synchronize the context data recorded by said first device and said at least one secondary device.
