Abstract
A core network for mobile communication system is provided. The core network includes a first network function (NF) element, a second NF element, and an operations, administration and maintenance (OAM) element. The OAM element periodically transmits a resource quota status message to the second NF element to obtain a count number of the resource of first NF element and a limit value of the count number via the second NF element, and adjusts the limit value of the resource of the first NF element according to the count number and the limit value of the resource of the first NF element.
Claims18
A core network for mobile communication system, comprising:
- a first network function (NF) element, being configured to provide a resource;
- a second NF element, being configured to manage the first NF element;
- and
- an operations administration and maintenance (OAM) element, being configured to execute operations comprising:
- transmitting a quota status inquiry message to the second NF element periodically to make the second NF element receive a count value corresponding to the resource from the first NF element;
- receiving a resource usage message from the second NF element, the resource usage message carrying the count value and an upper limit value of the count value;
- and
- adjusting the upper limit value of the count value according to the count value corresponding to the resource and the upper limit value of the count value.
A core network for mobile communication system, comprising:
- a first network slice which comprises:
- a first network function (NF) element, being configured to provide a first resource;
- and
- a second NF element, being configured to manage the first NF element;
- an operations administration and maintenance (OAM) element, being configured to execute operations comprising:
- receiving a quota warning message which carries a first count value corresponding to the first resource and a first upper limit value of the first count value;
- and
- adjusting the first upper limit value of the first count value according to the first count value and the first upper limit value of the first count value carried by the quota warning message;
- wherein when the first count value corresponding to the first resource is greater than or equal to a first threshold, the first NF element transmits the first count value to the second NF element.
A core network for mobile communication system, comprising:
- a first network slice which comprises:
- a first network function (NF) element, being configured to provide a first resource and a backup resource;
- and
- a second NF element, being configured to manage the first NF element;
- an operations administration and maintenance (OAM) element, being configured to execute operations comprising:
- receiving a quota warning message, which carries a first count value corresponding to the first resource and a first upper limit value of the first count value, from the second NF element;
- and
- adjusting the first upper limit value of the first count value corresponding to the first resource according to the first count value and the first upper limit value carried by the quota warning message;
- wherein when the backup resource decreases, the first NF element transmits the first count value to the second NF element.
