Abstract
Systems and methods for dynamically managing network functions (NFs) in a network such as 5G network are disclosed. The method includes instantiating a new NF associated with a target region; iteratively querying one or more network repository functions (NRFs) for lists of NFs associated with smaller regions based on a preceding response; and registering the new NF based on one or more responses to the iterative queries.
