Abstract:
A wireless communication network to serve a User Equipment (UE) over Network Exposure Functions (NEFs) that have Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). In the wireless communication network, a NEF Interface Function (NIF) receives a NEF request from a network function. The NIF correlates the NEF request with one of the APIs. The NIF selects one of the NEFs based on the one of the APIs. The NIF translates the NEF request into an API call based on the one of the APIs. The NIF transfers the API call to the one of the NEFs. The one of the NEFs receive the API call and responsively performs a network task for the UE based on the API call.
