Abstract
Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for improving service discovery. The method comprises determining identification information of a service instance by a network node according to a profile of the service instance registered at the network node. The network node can resolve address information of the service instance based at least in part on the identification information. The method further comprises storing the address information in the profile of the service instance. According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the maintenance of a NF profile can be improved and the service discovery and the resource configuration in a network may be optimized.
