원문 (중국어)

A method for communicating and using producer network function (NF) network slice level load information includes receiving, by a service communication proxy (SCP) and from a producer NF, a service-based interface (SBI) message including producer NF network slice level load information. The method further includes reading, by the SCP and from the SBI message, the producer NF network slice level load information. The method further includes communicating, by the SCP and to an NF repository function (NRF), the producer NF network slice level load information. The method further includes storing, by the NRF, the producer NF network slice level load information. The method further includes using, by the NRF, the producer NF network slice level load information to generate a response message to be sent to a consumer NF or the SCP.
