Patent ID: 11627636

Abstract:
A wireless communication network exchanges data communication over Session Communication Proxies (SCPs). In the wireless network, the SCPs determine and transfer location information and status data to a Network Repository Function (NRF). The NRF receives the location information and status data and prioritizes the SCPs based on the location information and the status data. A requesting Network Function (NF) transfers an NF request to the NRF. The NRF receives the NF request from the requesting NF. In response, the NRF generates and transfers a list that prioritizes the SCPs based on the location information and the status data to the requesting NF. The requesting NF selects one of the SCPs based on the location information and the status data and transfers NF data to the selected one of the SCPs. The selected one of the SCPs forwards the NF data to a target NF.
