Abstract
A method and apparatus for utilizing analytics on power consumption information. A Network Function (NF) supporting a Service Function Chaining (SFC) receives an N4 rule generated by a Session Management Function (SMF) from the SMF. The N4 rule includes information related to change of an SFC path based on power consumption of a UE. The NF supporting the SFC determines an SFC path based on the information related to the change of the SFC path, and communicates with the UE based on the determined SFC path.
