Abstract
A device, method, and system for forwarding, to a pod, a utility container associated with each of at least one network service for enabling a pre-registration of a network function (NF) with an NF registration function (NRF); sending, from the utility container, an authorization code to an NF authorization platform, wherein the authorization code is associated with the at least one network service; suspending a registration procedure for the NF with the NRF until the authorization code is forwarded from the NF authorization platform to the NRF; and resuming, responsive to a service registration request, the registration procedure based on a validation of the authorization code identified in the service registration request.
