Patent ID: 11785445

Abstract:
A wireless communication network serves a User Equipment (UE) with a Network Exposure Function (NEF) and multiple Unified Data Elements (UDEs) like Unified Data Managements (UDMs) and Unified Data Repositories (UDRs) The NEF receives initial network data and transfers a UDE query to a Network Repository Function (NRF). The NRF selects a Unified Data Proxy (UDP) and indicates the UDP to the NEF. The NEF receives the UDP indication and responsively transfers the initial network data to the UDP. The UDP receives the initial network data, and in response, selects one of the UDEs. The UDP transfers the initial network data to the selected one of the UDEs. The selected one of the UDEs receives the initial network data, and in response, generates and transfers new network data. In some examples, the UDEs comprise UDMs/UDRs that reside in different Public Land Mobile Networks (PLMNs) from one another and from the NEF.
