1. A method comprising:
forwarding, by a network exposure function (NEF) a message from an application function (AF) towards a network data analytics function (NWDAF), wherein the message is indicative of a request or a subscription of the AF to data analytics information associated with network quality of service (QoS) information of one or more user equipment (UE), wherein the message includes: UE location of the one or more UE, a start time and an end time indicating a time duration for which the network QoS information of the one or more UE is applicable, a QoS level, and threshold value(s) of QoS parameters in the QoS level wherein the threshold value(s) of the QoS parameters is associated with a condition to trigger the data analytics;
collecting, by the NWDAF, network data for producing the data analytics information;
obtaining the data analytics information, by the NWDAF, by performing data analytics using information in the message and the network data, wherein the data analytics information indicates a threshold value which is met or exceeded, a location at which the threshold value is met or exceeded and a time period during which the threshold value is met or exceeded;
sending, by the NWDAF to the NEF, the data analytics information in response to the message; and
forwarding, by the NEF to the AF, the data analytics information, wherein the data analytics information is used for an adjustment in operation of the one or more UE based on the data analytics information.
