| contents | Sixth-generation (6G) networks are envisioned to support interconnected local subnetworks that can share specialized, beyond-connectivity services. However, a standardized architecture for discovering and selecting these services across network boundaries has not existed yet. To address this gap, this paper introduces the Central Repository and Selection Function (CRSF), a novel network function for the 6G core that facilitates efficient inter-subnetwork service discovery and selection. We formulate the selection process as a QoS-aware optimization problem designed to balance service quality metrics with user-defined priorities. We evaluate our system model through simulations for a sensing service scenario and observe a consistently higher aggregate Quality of Service (QoS) compared to the baseline selection strategy. The proposed CRSF provides a foundational and extensible mechanism for building standardized, collaborative, and service-centric interconnected networks essential for the 6G era. |
