Title:
METHOD AND TERMINAL FOR ACQUIRING INFORMATION ON SERVICE FUNCTION CHAIN IN NEXT-GENERATION MOBILE COMMUNICATION NETWORK
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/138688
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Disclosed in the present specification is a method by which a terminal acquires service function chain (SFC) information. The method comprises the steps of: transferring, to a controller, the terminal state information and/or the terminal configuration information; and receiving the SFC information, determined by the controller, by considering the terminal state information and/or the terminal configuration information, wherein the SFC information includes logical path information of a virtualized network function (VNF). The method can also include a step for receiving sub-chain information, determined by the controller, on the basis of the SFC information, or determining the sub-chain information on the basis of the SFC information.
