OCNRF Overview
This section includes information about the role of Oracle Communications Network Repository Function (OCNRF) in 5G Service Based Architecture.
The OCNRF is one of the main components of the 5G Service Based Architecture. The OCNRF maintains an updated repository of all the Network Functions (NFs) available in the operator's network along with the services provided by each of the NFs in the 5G core that are expected to be instantiated, scaled and terminated with minimal or no manual intervention.
The OCNRF supports discovery mechanisms that allow NFs to discover each other and get updated status of the desired NFs.
The OCNRF supports the following functions:
- Maintains the profiles of the available NF instances and their supported services in the 5G core network
- Allows consumer NF instances to discover other provider's NF instances in the 5G core network
- Allows NF instances to track the status of other NF instances
The OCNRF interacts with every other Network Function in the 5G core network and it supports the above functions through the following services:
-
Management Services
-
Discovery Services
