PROVISION OF DATA ANALYTICS IN A TELECOMMUNICATION NETWORK

A communication method and a system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT) is provided. The disclosure is applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as a smart home, a smart building, a smart city, a smart car, a connected car, health care, digital education, a smart retail, security and safety services. A method performed by a first entity performing a network data analytics function (NWDAF) is provided. The method includes receiving, from a second entity performing network function (NF), a first message for requesting observed service experience analytics, the first message including single-network slice selection assistance information (S-NSSAI) indicating a network slice, transmitting, to a third entity performing application function (AF) associated with the S-NSSAI, a second message for requesting service data associated with the observed service experience analytics, the second message including information on at least one application, receiving, from the third entity, the service data including at least one service experience for the at least one application, identifying the observed service experience analytics based on the service data, and transmitting, to the second entity, the observed service experience analytics.
