System and method for monitoring an event in a non-clustered network

A system for monitoring an event in a non-clustered network, the system comprising:

• a receiving unit configured to receive an event monitoring request;
• a database configured to store the event monitoring request;
• a processing unit coupled to the receiving unit and the database, wherein the processing unit is configured for:
• receiving, by a network exposure function (NEF), the event monitoring request from an application function (AF);
• responsive to receiving the event monitoring request, communicating, by the NEF, the event monitoring request to a service capabilities exposure function (SCEF), and a unified data management (UDM) event monitoring request to a UDM;
• responsive to the UDM event monitoring request, receiving, by the NEF a UDM event monitoring response from the UDM;
• responsive to the event monitoring request, receiving, by the NEF, an event monitoring response from the SCEF;
• receiving, by the AF, the event monitoring response from the NEF in response to the event monitoring request to allow monitoring of the event.

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform method for monitoring an event in a non-clustered network, the method comprising:

• receiving, by a network exposure function (NEF), an event monitoring request from an application function (AF);
• responsive to receiving the event monitoring request, communicating, by the NEF, the event monitoring request to a service capabilities exposure function (SCEF) and a unified data management (UDM) event monitoring request to a UDM;
• responsive to the UDM event monitoring request, receiving, by the NEF a UDM event monitoring response from the UDM;
• responsive to the event monitoring request, receiving, by the NEF, an event monitoring response from the SCEF;
• receiving, by the AF, the event monitoring response from the NEF in response to the event monitoring request to allow monitoring of the event.
