SERVICE OPERATIONS FOR APPLICATION PROGRAMMING INTERFACES (APIs)
Various aspects of the present disclosure relate to service operations for Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). A first network equipment (NE) transmits, to a second NE, a request message for a service operation, the request message including a resource Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) for a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) POST method, and the service operation includes one or more of an initial Application Programming Interface (API) configuration, an API configuration update, or an API invocation associated with an API provider. The first NE receives, from the second NE, a response message including a result of the service operation.
1 . A first network equipment (NE) for wireless communication, comprising:
at least one memory; and
at least one processor coupled with the at least one memory and configured to cause the first NE to:
transmit, to a second NE, a request message for a service operation, the request message comprising a resource Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) for a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) POST method, wherein the service operation comprises an API configuration update; and
receive, from the second NE, a response message comprising a result of the service operation.
2 . The first NE of claim 1 , wherein the request message further comprises one or more data types for the request message.
3 . The first NE of claim 2 , wherein the one or more data types comprise information pertaining to the API configuration update.
4 . The first NE of claim 1 , wherein the resource URI comprises {apiRoot}/nsce-sam/<apiVersion>/UpdReqt.
5 . The first NE of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to cause the first NE to receive, from the second NE, a response comprising slice API information.
6 . The first NE of claim 5 , wherein the response comprises {apiRoot}/nsce-sam/<apiVersion>/apiInfo}.
7 . The first NE of claim 1 , wherein the first NE comprises a Vertical Application Layer (VAL) server.
8 . The first NE of claim 7 , wherein the second NE comprises a Network Slice Capability Exposure (NSCE) Server.
9 . The first NE of claim 1 , wherein the service operation pertains to one or more network slice APIs.
10 . A second network equipment (NE) for wireless communication, comprising:
at least one memory; and
at least one processor coupled with the at least one memory and configured to cause the second NE to:
receive, from a first NE, a request message for a service operation, the request message comprising an operation Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) for a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) POST method, wherein the service operation comprises an API configuration update;
perform the service operation; and
transmit, to the first NE, a response message comprising a result of the service operation.
11 . The second NE of claim 10 , wherein the request message further comprises one or more data types for the request message.
12 . The second NE of claim 11 , wherein the one or more data types comprise information pertaining to the API configuration update.
13 . The second NE of claim 10 , wherein the operation URI comprises {apiRoot}/nsce-sam/<apiVersion>/UpdReqt.
14 . The second NE of claim 10 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to cause the second NE to transmit, to the first NE, a response comprising slice API information.
15 . The second NE of claim 14 , wherein the response comprises {apiRoot}/nsce-sam/<apiVersion>/apiInfo}.
16 . The second NE of claim 10 , wherein the first NE comprises a Vertical Application Layer (VAL) server.
17 . The second NE of claim 16 , wherein the second NE comprises a Network Slice Capability Exposure (NSCE) Server.
18 . The second NE of claim 10 , wherein the service operation pertains to one or more network slice APIs.
19 . A method performed by a first network equipment (NE), the method comprising:
transmitting, to a second NE, a request message for a service operation, the request message comprising a resource Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) for a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) POST method, wherein the service operation comprises an API configuration update; and
receiving, from the second NE, a response message comprising a result of the service operation.
20 . A method performed by a second network equipment (NE), the method comprising:
receiving, from a first NE, a request message for a service operation, the request message comprising an operation Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) for a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) POST method, wherein the service operation comprises an API configuration update;
performing the service operation; and
transmitting, to the first NE, a response message comprising a result of the service operation.
