Abstract
Systems, methods, and machine-readable media for obtaining data from a cellular network core are described herein. A request from a network function residing outside of the cellular network core may be received by the cellular network core. The request may correspond to a request for data from the cellular network core. The request may be routed by a network exposure function (NEF) of the cellular network core to a user plane function (UPF) of the cellular network core. UPF data responsive to the request may be determined by the UPF. The UPF data may be transmitted from the UPF to the network function residing outside of the cellular network core.
Claims20
A method for event exposure in a cellular network core, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a cellular network core, a request from a network function residing outside of the cellular network core, the request comprising an indication of an event type to be monitored;
- monitoring, by the cellular network core, network traffic or session information associated with user equipment for occurrence of an event corresponding to the indicated event type;
- consequent to detection of the event corresponding to the indicated event type, generating, by the cellular network core, an event exposure notification comprising information related to the detected event;
- and
- transmitting, by the cellular network core, the event exposure notification to the network function residing outside of the cellular network core.
A system comprising:
- a cellular network core configured to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a request from a network function residing outside of the cellular network core, the request comprising an indication of an event type to be monitored;
- monitoring network traffic or session information associated with user equipment for occurrence of an event corresponding to the indicated event type;
- consequent to detection of the event corresponding to the indicated event type, generating an event exposure notification comprising information related to the detected event;
- and
- transmitting the event exposure notification to the network function residing outside of the cellular network core.
One or more non-transitory, machine-readable media having machine-readable instructions thereon which, when executed by one or more processing devices, cause a system to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a request from a network function residing outside of a cellular network core, the request comprising an indication of an event type to be monitored;
- monitoring network traffic or session information associated with user equipment for occurrence of an event corresponding to the indicated event type;
- consequent to detection of the event corresponding to the indicated event type, generating an event exposure notification comprising information related to the detected event;
- and
- transmitting the event exposure notification to the network function residing outside of the cellular network core.
