1. A system for network data analytics, the system comprising a network data analytics function (NWDAF) and a first service consumer function (SCF) arranged to connect to the NWDAF, wherein
the SCF is arranged to:
generate an analytics function definition, wherein the analytics function definition defines a custom analytics function for processing data at the NWDAF, and
register the analytics function definition at the NWDAF,
the NWDAF is arranged to:
receive the analytics function definition from the SCF,
assign an analytics function identifier to the received analytics function definition,
transmit the analytics function identifier back to the SCF, and
register the analytics function definition in an analytics function definition store of the NWDAF, and
the SCF is further arranged to receive the analytics identifier associated with the registered analytics function definition from the NWDAF; and
the NWDAF and/or the SCF is arranged to verify the analytics function definition in accordance with verification criteria.
