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 9):
The network equipment of  claim 8 , further comprising:\n wherein the plurality of NF instances are of each NF type of a plurality of NF types which include an access and mobility management function (AMF), a session management function (SMF), and a policy control function (PCF); wherein receiving and storing the information further comprises receiving and storing information which includes a list of services associated with the NF instance; wherein the one or more processors are further operative in accordance with the program instructions comprising the repository function to:\n receive, from the NRF, a message which indicates a request for a list of services associated with the selected plurality of NF instances of an indicated NF type; \n retrieve, from the memory and based on the indicated NF type, the list of services associated with the selected plurality of NF instances of the indicated NF type; and \n send, to the NRF, a message which indicates a response to the request, the response including the retrieved list of services associated with each NF instance of the selected plurality of NF instances of the indicated NF type.
