Abstract
A method for providing service based interface (SBI) support for network elements (NEs) not supporting SBI service operations includes receiving SBI configuration parameters for an NE not supporting SBI service operations. The method further includes establishing a connection with the NE not supporting SBI service operations. The method further includes registering, with a network function (NF) repository function (NRF) and using the SBI configuration parameters, the NE not supporting SBI service operations. The method further includes monitoring, over the connection, status of the NE not supporting SBI service operations. The method further includes updating, with the NRF, the status of the NE not supporting SBI service operations.
