US 2026/0089064 A1 · DATA COLLECTION COORDINATION FUNCTION AND NETWORK DATA ANALYTICS FUNCTION FRAMEWORK FOR SENSING SERVICES IN NEXT GENERATION CELLULAR NETWORKS

Abstract

This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to sensing service coordination. A device may discover a Network Data Analytics Function (NWDAF) via a Network Function Repository Function (NRF). The device may send an Analytics request or subscribe to the selected NWDAF with a criteria based on a sensing data analytics ID, event ID, and event parameters. The device may select a Data Collection Coordination Function (DCCF) instance when DCCF is used for data collection, based on DCCF Serving Area Information. The device may receive sensing data or data analytics from the NWDAF after NWDAF has processed the data collected from DCCF.
