Abstract
In a wireless communication network, a Unified Data Repository (UDR) is served by a UDR Message Function (UMF). The UMF receives a UDR message that relates to a User Equipment (UE) for delivery to a network function. The UMF writes the current UDR message to a UDR message queue for the UE. The UMF determines when the UDR message queue stores multiple UDR messages that relate to the UE. When the current UDR message is the only message in the message queue for the UE, the UMF transfers the current UDR message to the destination network function. When the message queue for the UE stores multiple UDR messages for the UE, the UMF stops message transfer from the queue and prioritizes the UDR messages in the message queue. The UMF restarts message transfer from the queue and transfers the UDR messages to the network functions based on the prioritization. The UDR message queue stores the UDR messages under control of the UMF.
