Abstract
A method and apparatus for utilizing analytics on power consumption information. A Network Function (NF) supporting a Service Function Chaining (SFC) receives an N4 rule generated by a Session Management Function (SMF) from the SMF. The N4 rule includes information related to change of an SFC path based on power consumption of a UE. The NF supporting the SFC determines an SFC path based on the information related to the change of the SFC path, and communicates with the UE based on the determined SFC path.
Claims20
A method performed by a Network Function (NF) supporting a Service Function Chaining (SFC) adapted to operate in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- performing a registration procedure for a User Equipment (UE);
- performing a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session establishment procedure for the UE;
- receiving an N4 rule generated by a Session Management Function (SMF) from the SMF, wherein the N4 rule includes information related to change of an SFC path based on power consumption of the UE;
- determining an SFC path based on the information related to the change of the SFC path;
- and
- communicating with the UE based on the determined SFC path.
A Network Function (NF) supporting a Service Function Chaining (SFC) adapted to operate in a wireless communication system, the NF comprising:
- at least one transceiver;
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory operably connectable to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, based on being executed by the at least one processor, perform operations comprising:
- performing a registration procedure for a User Equipment (UE);
- performing a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session establishment procedure for the UE;
- receiving an N4 rule generated by a Session Management Function (SMF) from the SMF, wherein the N4 rule includes information related to change of an SFC path based on power consumption of the UE;
- determining an SFC path based on the information related to the change of the SFC path;
- and
- communicating with the UE based on the determined SFC path.
