Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus are described for accessing services affiliated with a service provider. A first discovery procedure may be performed to discover at least one service provider, and a bootstrap procedure may be performed with the at least one discovered service provider. A second discovery procedure may then be performed to determine available service capability layers (SCLs) supported by the at least one discovered service provider. The first discovery procedure may include transmitting a service provider discovery request including information for querying a record database to determine matching service provider discovery records, and receiving a service provider discovery response including a service discovery function record list that matches queries in the service provider discovery request. At least one service provider from the service discovery function record list may be selected to bootstrap with. Various versions of the second discovery procedure are described.
