Claim 10:
11. An apparatus for setting a value of an inactivity timer for transitioning between states of a data session in a network comprising a session management function (SMF) and a network data analytics function (NWDAF) providing network data analytics, the apparatus of the NWDAF comprising:
a transceiver; and
a processor coupled with the transceiver and configured to:
receive, from the SMF, first input data comprising at least one of a protocol data unit (PDU) session ID to identify a PDU session related to a user equipment (UE), a N4 session ID to identify a N4 session between the SMF and a user plane function (UPF), an inactivity detection time related to an inactivity timer, or a PDU session status indicating whether a status of the PDU session is activated or deactivated,
receive, from an access and mobility management function (AMF), second input data comprising a UE connection management (CM) state of the UE, and
transmit, to the SMF, analytics results provided by the NWDAF based on at least one of the first input data or the second input data, the analytics results comprising the N4 session ID and the inactivity detection time.
