Abstract
A method performed by a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may be provided for communicating with a network function (NF). An example WTRU may determine a subscription permanent identifier (SUPI) and a SUPI type. The WTRU may determine, based on the SUPI type, a parent domain associated with the network node. The WTRU may determine a partial qualified domain name (PQDN) associated with the network node. The WTRU may determine a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) for the network node based on the parent domain and the PQDN. The WTRU may send a message to the network node using the determined FQDN to address the network node.
Claims20
A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) for communicating with a network node, the WTRU comprising:
- a processor, wherein the processor is configured to:
- determine a subscription permanent identifier (SUPI) and a SUPI type;
- determine, based on the SUPI type, a parent domain associated with the network node, wherein the network node is associated with a network function (NF);
- determine a partially qualified domain name (PQDN) associated with the network node based on a defined name associated with the NF;
- determine a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) for the network node based on the parent domain and the PQDN;
- and
- send a message to the network node using the determined FQDN to address the network node.
A method for a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) to communicate with a network node, the method comprising:
- determining a subscription permanent identifier (SUPI) and a SUPI type;
- determining, based on the SUPI type, a parent domain associated with the network node, wherein the network node is associated with a network function (NF);
- determining a partially qualified domain name (PQDN) associated with the network node based on a defined name associated with the NF;
- determining a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) for the network node based on the parent domain and the PQDN;
- and
- sending a message to the network node using the determined FQDN to address the network node.
