Abstract

La présente invention concerne une technique de communication qui permet de combiner un système de communication 5G pour la prise en charge de débits de transmission de données supérieurs aux systèmes 4G, avec une technologie d'IdO, et un système associé. La présente invention peut être appliquée à des services intelligents (par exemple, maisons intelligentes, immeubles intelligents, villes intelligentes, voitures intelligentes ou voitures connectées, établissements de soins, enseignement numérique, commerce de détail, services de sécurité et de sûreté ou analogues) sur la base de la technologie de communication 5G et de la technologie liée à l'IdO. La présente invention concerne, selon divers modes de réalisation, un procédé et un dispositif dans lesquels NF, AF, OAM ou RAN utilise des informations d'analyse de réseau fournies par un NWDAF, les informations d'analyse de réseau étant fournies en tenant compte non seulement d'informations d'analyse concernant un sujet demandé, mais également d'entités ou de types de configuration associés supplémentaires.
