Network service exposure method and apparatus utilizing the same
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising:
- a communication unit operable to receive a request for exposure of a cellular network service subscriber related record associated with a user identifier from a cellular network exposure function; and
a processor operable to receive modification of association between the cellular network service subscriber related record and the user identifier;
wherein the processor causes exposure of the cellular network service subscriber related record to the cellular network exposure function; and
wherein the cellular network service subscriber related record comprises latency related time pattern of data transfer associated with the user identifier.

Abstract
A machine type communication (MTC) gateway device is operable to provide usage type information to a 3GPP network entity and an application out of the 3GPP network. The disclosed MTC gateway device and base station provide an enhanced monitoring response with an enhanced positioning granularity to a position monitoring request. Exposure of usage type and subscription information associated with a user equipment (UE) device is a first step to virtual network function and network slice related provisioning and dedicated core network related provisioning for the UE device. Providing UE usage type through a network exposure function to a third party application enables the third party application to adapt for the usage type.
