Abstract:
A network function (NF) profile repository function (NPRF) is provided to receive, for each one of a plurality of NF instances of a plurality of different NF types, information associated with the NF instance and store the information in memory. The NPRF may then also receive, from an NF repository function (NRF), a message which indicates a request for information associated with one or more NF instances of an indicated NF type. In response, the NPRF may retrieve, from the memory based on the indicated NF type, information associated with the one or more NF instances. The NPRF may send, to the NRF, a message which indicates a response to the request, where the response includes retrieved information associated with the one or more NF instances.

Claim (Index 1):
A method comprising:\n at a repository function,\n for each one of a plurality of network function (NF) instances, receiving information associated with the NF instance and storing the information in memory, the information including at least identification information associated with the NF instance; \n for each one of the plurality of NF instances, receiving a loading indication of the NF instance from a network data analytics function, the loading indication indicating a current loading of the NF instance; \n receiving, from a NF repository function (NRF), a message which indicates a request for information associated with one or more NF instances of an indicated NF type; \n retrieving, from the memory and based on the indicated NF type, information associated with the one or more NF instances of the indicated NF type; and \n sending, to the NRF, a message which indicates a response to the request, the response including the retrieved information associated with the one or more NF instances of the indicated NF type, the retrieved information including at least the identification information and the loading indication for each one of the one or more NF instances of the indicated NF type.
