Abstract
A method for dynamically provisioning and using PLMN location mappings includes, in an SCEF or NEF, receiving, from a PLMN network node, a message containing a PLMN location identifier and a non-PLMN location identifier, extracting the PLMN location identifier and the non-PLMN location identifier from the message and storing, in a PLMN location mapping database in the SCEF or NEF, a mapping between the PLMN location identifier and the non-PLMN location identifier. The method further includes receiving, via a monitoring interface of the SCEF or NEF, a monitoring request message requesting IoT device information and including a non-PLMN location identifier. The method further includes locating an entry in the PLMN location mapping database corresponding to the non-PLMN location identifier, extracting a PLMN location identifier from the database, using the PLMN location identifier extracted from the database to obtain IoT device information, and responding to the monitoring request message with the IoT device information.
