Abstract
A method, a network device, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are described in relation to an event reporting service. The event reporting service may enable network devices, such as an application function, to subscribe to usage reporting in which notifications for a usage event may be reported periodically or non-singularly. The event reporting service may include data instances in messages exchanged between core network devices that configures the usage and event notification.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a network device of a core network, usage threshold information and event subscription information, wherein the event subscription information indicates periodic or non-singular notification;
- monitoring, by the network device, user plane traffic of a session based on the usage threshold information;
- determining, by the network device, that the usage threshold information has been satisfied;
- and
- transmitting, by the network device based on the event subscription information, a notification that includes a usage value.
A network device comprising:
- a processor that is configured to:
- receive usage threshold information and event subscription information, wherein the event subscription information indicates periodic or non-singular notification, and the network device is of a core network;
- monitor user plane traffic of a session based on the usage threshold information;
- determine that the usage threshold information has been satisfied;
- and
- transmit based on the event subscription information, a notification that includes a usage value.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions executable by a processor of a network device of a core network, wherein the instructions are configured to:
- receive usage threshold information and event subscription information, wherein the event subscription information indicates periodic or non-singular notification;
- monitor user plane traffic of a session based on the usage threshold information;
- determine that the usage threshold information has been satisfied;
- and
- transmit based on the event subscription information, a notification that includes a usage value.
