Description

METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DEPLOYING NEW SERVICES WITHIN NETWORK ELEMENTS FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE [0001] Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to the field of wireless communication systems. More particularly, embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods and systems for deploying new services within network elements. BACKGROUND [0002] The following description of related art is intended to provide background information pertaining to the field of the disclosure. This section may include certain aspects of the art that may be related to various features of the present disclosure. However, it should be appreciated that this section be used only to enhance the understanding of the reader with respect to the present disclosure, and not as admissions of prior art. [0003] Wireless communication technology has rapidly evolved over the past few decades, with each generation bringing significant improvements and advancements. The first generation of wireless communication technology was based on analog technology and offered only voice services. However, with the advent of the second-generation (2G) technology, digital communication and data services became possible, and text messaging was introduced. 3G technology marked the introduction of high-speed internet access, mobile video calling, and location-based services. The fourth-generation (4G) technology revolutionized wireless communication with faster data speeds, better network coverage, and improved security. Currently, the fifth-generation (5G) technology is being deployed, promising even faster data speeds, low latency, and the ability to connect multiple devices simultaneously. With each generation, wireless communication technology has become more advanced, sophisticated, and capable of delivering more services to its users. [0004] In 4G/5G, the Serving Call Session Control Function (S-CSCF), Interrogating Call Session Control Function (I-CSCF), and Breakout Gateway Control Function (BGCF) (SIB) is used to broadcast important system information to the network's devices. While it is possible to add new functionality to the SIB, there are certain limitations in the existing solutions. [0005] In the current existing solutions, when any new functionality is added to the SIB that must be compatible with existing 4G/5G devices, there comes a problem when more number of modules or nodes cannot be added onto a single platform without compromising the functionality and without the need to design around. Also, care should be taken that the solution is such that it is not resource and/or cost intensive. [0006] Hence, to address the afore-mentioned problems, there exists a need for a method and a system to develop a more efficient method and system for deploying new services within network elements. SUMMARY [0007] This section is provided to introduce certain aspects of the present disclosure in a simplified form that are further described below in the detailed description. This summary is not intended to identify the key features or the scope of the claimed subject matter.

The method includes receiving, by a transceiver unit, a request for creating one or more new services to be added to a network. Next, the method includes creating, by a processing unit, the one or more new services based on the received request, wherein the one or more new services are created based on a predefined generic framework available within the network. Next, the method includes configuring, by the processing unit, the one or more new services to integrate into an existing service chain logic of the network, based on a set of predefined service preferences. Thereafter, the method includes deploying, by a deploying unit, the one or more new services within one or more network elements. [0009] In an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure, the set of predefined generic framework corresponds to a set of templates that facilitate integration of the one or more new services.
