Performance measurements for location management function on location management
This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to performance measurements. A device may decode a management service (MnS) service request received from an MnS consumer for the 5G system (5GS), wherein the service request is associated with a performance measurement collection service to be delivered by the service producer to the consumer related to a location management function (LMF). The device may detect performance measurements data received from the LMF. The device may decode from the performance measurements data a measurement label associated with the performance measurements data based on the MnS service. The device may encode a service response based on the performance measurements data received from the PCF.

The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the number location context transfer requests is counter based on receipt a cumulative of an Nlmf_Location_LocationContextTransfer request by the LMF from the MnS consumer, the number of successful context transfers is a cumulative counter and based on transmission of an Nlmf_Location_LocationContextTransfer response by the LMF to the MnS consumer indicating a successful location context transfer, the number of failed location context transfers is a cumulative counter based on transmission of an Nlmf_Location_LocationContextTransfer response by the LMF to the MnS consumer indicating a failed location context transfer where each message increments the relevant subcounter per failure case by 1.
10 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions which when executed by one or more processors result in performing operations comprising:
decoding a management service (MnS) service request received from an MnS consumer for the core network (5GC), wherein the service request is associated with a performance measurement collection service monitoring performance of a location management function (LMF) using location management counters for location determination related measurements, location notification related measurements, or location context transfer related measurements;
detecting performance measurements data received from the LMF, the performance measurements data comprising cumulative counter increments triggered by Nlmf operational service request or responses; and
encoding a service response comprising measurement labels based on the performance measurements data received from the LMF.
11 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 10 , wherein decoding the service request causes the LMF to initiate a generation and delivery of the performance measurements data.
12 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the service producer is outside the LMF in a separate management system or inside the LMF.
13 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 10 , wherein location determination related measurements comprise a number of location determination requests, a number of successful location determinations, and a number of failed location determinations.
14 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the location notification related measurements comprise a number of location notifications for successful activation or a number of location notifications for failed activation.
15 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the location context transfer related measurements comprise a number of location context transfer requests, a number of successful context transfers, or a number of failed location context transfers.
16 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the number of location determination requests is a cumulative counter based on receipt of an Nlmf_Location_DetermineLocation request by the LMF from the MnS consumer, the number of successful location determinations is a cumulative counter based on transmission of an Nlmf_Location_DetermineLocation response by the LMF to the MnS consumer indicating a successful location determination, the number of failed location determinations is a cumulative counter based on transmission of an Nlmf_Location_DetermineLocation response by the LMF to the MnS consumer indicating a failed location determination where each message increments a relevant subcounter per failure case by 1.
17 .
