Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 8:
9. A management service (MnS) device in a communication system supporting a plurality of architectures, the MnS device comprising:
a transceiver; and
a controller comprising one or more processors, the controller coupled with the transceiver and configured to:
identify an architecture supported by a first instance that is running and a list of functions for the architecture,
determine whether to use the first instance based on a result of the identification and a requirement for a service provision initiated by the MnS device,
manage a look up table (LUT) providing, for each endpoint, an instance identifier (ID), at least one process ID corresponding to the instance ID, a list of provided functions, and an entity type, and
terminate the first instance and generate a second instance based on the LUT in case that the MnS determines not to use the first instance.
