US Patent 10470150 Capability exposure implementation method and system, and related device

The present disclosure relates to capability exposure implementation methods, systems, and devices. One example method includes a first device obtaining capability information of a radio access network device, configuring an API, setting a use time limit of the API, where the API is used to provide the capability information for a second device, triggering a registration function to send registration information to the second device, where the registration information includes an identifier of the API, receiving an API request sent by the second device, where the API request includes the identifier of the API, detecting whether the use time limit of the API expires, and if the use time limit of the API does not expire, sending an API response to the second device by using the API, where the API response includes the capability information.
