JPL 5G Network Repository Function (NRF) Partner Validated

JPL NRF supports the registration and de-registration of NF instances. It
maintains unique profiles for each NF and the services it provides.

This service updates the profile of a NF previously registered in the NRF by providing the
updated NF profile of the requesting NF to the NRF.

JPL NRF tracks each registered NF instance by sending periodic heartbeat requests to check if the NF is still operative.

This feature provides a subscription for changes in the status of NF profile registered in the NRF. The subscription can be based on NF type, NF instance ID, and NF service name. This service operation can be invoked by an NF instance in a different PLMN (via the local NRF in that PLMN).

JPL NRF supports the removal of the previously created subscription. It allows an NF instance to unsubscribe for changes on the status of NF instances registered in NRF. This service operation can be invoked by an NF instance in a different PLMN (via the local NRF in that PLMN). 

JPL NRF allows the subscription to notifications on NF Instances may be updated to refresh the validity time, when this time is about to expire. The NF Service Consumer may request a new validity time to the NRF, and the NRF shall answer with the new assigned validity time, if the operation is successful.
