Abstract
A wireless communication network serves wireless data services to wireless user devices. In the wireless communication network, communication circuitry receives a registration from a source Network Repository Function (NRF) for a registering Network Function (NF). The communication circuitry transfers the registration to processing circuitry. The processing circuitry determines when the source NRF has an excessive amount of the NF type. When the source NRF does not have the excessive amount of the NF type, the processing circuitry a registration approval to the communication circuitry. The communication circuitry transfers the registration approval to the source NRF. When the source NRF has an excessive amount of the NF type, the processing circuitry selects a target NRF based on the geolocation of the registering NF. The processing circuitry transfers a registration redirection that indicates the target NRF to the communication circuitry. The communication circuitry transfers the registration redirection to the source NRF.
