Analytics consumer subscribes to analytics information via DCCF by invoking the Ndccf_DataManagement_Subscribe (Nnwdaf service operation, Analytics Specification, Formatting Instructions, Processing Instructions, NWDAF (or NWDAF-Set) ID, ADRF Information, Analytics Consumer Notification Target Address (+ Notification Correlation ID)) service operation. The analytics consumer may specify one or more notification endpoints. Analytics consumer decides to go via DCCF based on internal configuration. The "Analytics Specification" provides Nnwdaf service operation specific parameters, e.g. Analytics IDs, Target of Analytics Reporting and optional parameters used to retrieve the analytics. The analytics consumer may provide the identity of the NWDAF to collect analytics from. The analytics consumer may provide additional information on possible notification endpoints or ADRF information to archive analytics.

If the NWDAF instance or NWDAF Set is not identified by the analytics consumer, the DCCF determines the NWDAF instances that can provide analytics. If the consumer requested storage of analytics in an ADRF but an ADRF ID is not provided by the Analytics Consumer, or the collected analytics is to be stored in an ADRF according to configuration on the DCCF, the DCCF selects an ADRF to store the collected analytics.

The DCCF determines whether the analytics requested in step 1 are already being collected. If the requested analytics are already being collected by an analytics consumer, the DCCF adds the new analytics consumer to the list of analytics consumers that are subscribed for these analytics.

The DCCF sends an Nmfaf_3daDataManagement_Configure (Analytics Consumer Information, MFAF Notification Information, Formatting Conditions, Processing Instructions) to configure the MFAF to map notifications received from the NWDAF to outgoing notifications sent to endpoints and to instruct the MFAF how to format and process the outgoing notifications. "Analytics Consumer Information" contains for each notification endpoint, the analytics consumer Notification Target Address (+ Analytics Consumer Notification Correlation ID) to be used by the MFAF when sending notifications in step 7. "MFAF Notification Information" is included if an NWDAF is already sending the analytics to the MFAF. MFAF Notification Information identifies Event Notifications received from the NWDAF and comprises the MFAF Notification Target Address (+ MFAF Notification Correlation ID). If the MFAF does not receive MFAF Notification information from the DCCF, the MFAF selects an MFAF Notification Target Address (+ MFAF Notification Correlation ID) and sends the MFAF Notification Information, containing the MFAF Notification Target Address (+ MFAF Notification Correlation ID), to the DCCF in the Nmfaf_3daDataManagement_Configure Response.

If the analytics subscribed in step 1 partially matches analytics that are already being collected by the DCCF from a NWDAF and a modification of this subscription to the NWDAF would satisfy both the existing analytics subscriptions as well as the newly requested analytics, the DCCF invokes Nnwdaf_AnalyticsSubscription_Subscribe (Subscription Correlation ID) with parameters indicating how to modify the previous subscription (as specified in clause 6.1.1.1). The DCCF adds the analytics consumer to the list of analytics consumers that are subscribed for these analytics. If the analytics requested at step 1 are not already available or not being collected yet, the DCCF subscribes to analytics from the NF using Nnwdaf_AnalyticsSubscription_Subscribe, setting the Notification Target Address (+Notification Correlation ID)) to the MFAF Notification Target Address (+ MFAF Notification Correlation ID) received in step 4. The DCCF adds the analytics consumer to the list of analytics consumers that are subscribed for these analytics.

When new output analytics are available, the NWDAF uses Nnwdaf_AnalyticsSubscription_Notify to send the analytics to the MFAF. The Notification includes the MFAF Notification Correlation ID.

The MFAF uses Nmfaf_3caDataManagement_Notify to send the analytic to all notification endpoints indicated in step 4. Notifications are sent to the Notification Target Address(es) using the Analytics Consumer Notification Correlation ID(s) received in step 4. Analytics sent to notification endpoints may be processed and formatted by the MFAF, so they conform to delivery requirements specified by the analytics consumer. The MFAF may store the information in the ADRF if requested by consumer or if required by DCCF configuration, using procedure as specified in clause 6.2B.3.

If a Nmfaf_3caDataManagement_Notify contains a fetch instruction, the notification endpoint sends a Nmfaf_3caDataManagement_Fetch request to fetch the analytics from the MFAF.

The MFAF delivers the analytics to the notification endpoint.

When the analytics consumer no longer wants analytics to be collected, it invokes Ndccf_DataManagement_Unsubscribe (Subscription Correlation ID), using the Subscription Correlation Id received in response to its subscription in step 1. The DCCF removes the analytics consumer from the list of analytics consumers that are subscribed for these analytics.

If there are no other analytics consumers subscribed to the analytics, the DCCF unsubscribes with the NWDAF.

The DCCF de-configures the MFAF so it no longer maps notifications received from the NWDAF to the notification endpoints configured in step 4.

The analytics consumer requests analytics via DCCF by invoking the Ndccf_DataManagement_Subscribe (Nnwdaf service operation, Analytics Specification, Time Window, Formatting Instructions, Processing Instructions, ADRF ID or NWDAF ID (or ADRF Set ID or NWDAF Set ID)). The analytics consumer may specify one or more notification endpoints to receive the analytics.

If an ADRF or NWDAF instance or ADRF or NWDAF Set ID is not provided by the Analytics Consumer, the DCCF determines if any ADRF or NWDAF instances might provide the analytics as described in clause 5A and clause 5B.

The DCCF sends an Nmfaf_3daDataManagement_Configure (Analytics Consumer Information, Formatting Conditions, Processing Instructions) to configure the MFAF to map notifications received from the ADRF or NWDAF to outgoing notifications sent to endpoints and to instruct the MFAF how to format and process the outgoing notifications. "Analytics Consumer Information" contains for each notification endpoint, the analytics consumer Notification Target Address (+ Analytics Consumer Notification Correlation ID) to be used by the MFAF when sending notifications. The MFAF selects an MFAF Notification Target Address (+ MFAF Notification Correlation ID) and sends the MFAF Notification Information, containing the MFAF Notification Target Address (+ MFAF Notification Correlation ID), to the DCCF in the Nmfaf_3daDataManagement_Configure Response.

(conditional) If the DCCF determines that an ADRF instance might provide the analytics, or an ADRF instance or Set was supplied by the Analytics Consumer, the DCCF sends a request to the ADRF, using Nadrf_DataManagement_RetrievalSubscribe (Analytics Specification, MFAF Notification Information) as specified in clause 10.2.6. The MFAF Notification information contains the MFAF Notification Target Address (+ MFAF Notification Correlation ID) received in step 3.

The ADRF responds to the DCCF with an Nadrf_DataManagement_RetrievalSubscribe response indicating if the ADRF can supply the analytics. If the analytics can be provided, the procedure continues with step 8.

conditional) If the DCCF determines that an NWDAF instance might provide the analytics or an NWDAF instance or Set was supplied by the Analytics Consumer, the DCCF sends a request to the NWDAF using Nnwdaf_AnalyticsSubscription_Subscribe as specified in clause 7.2.2. The MFAF Notification Information contains the MFAF Notification Target Address (+ MFAF Notification Correlation ID) received in step 3.

The NWDAF responds to the DCCF with an Nnwdaf_AnalyticsSubscription_Subscribe response indicating if the NWDAF can supply the analytics.

The ADRF uses Nadrf_DataManagement_RetrievalNotify or the NWDAF uses Nnwdaf_AnalyticsSubscription_Notify to send the requested analytics (e.g. one or more stored notifications archived from an NWDAF) to the MFAF. The analytics may be sent in one or more notification messages.

The MFAF uses Nmfaf_3caDataManagement_Notify to send analytics to all notification endpoints indicated in step 3. Notifications are sent to the Notification Target Address(es) using the Analytics Consumer Notification Correlation ID(s) received in step 3. Analytics sent to notification endpoints may be processed and formatted by the DCCF, so they conform to delivery requirements specified by the analytics consumer.

If a notification contains a fetch instruction, the notification endpoint sends a Nmfaf_3caDataManagement_Fetch request as specified in clause 9.3.3 to fetch the analytics from the MFAF.

The DCCF delivers the analytics to the notification endpoint.

When the analytics consumer no longer wants analytics to be collected or has received all the analytics it needs, it invokes Ndccf_DataManagement_Unsubscribe (Subscription Correlation ID) as specified in clause 8.2.3, using the Subscription Correlation Id received in response to its subscription in step 1.

If the analytics are being provided by an ADRF and there are no other analytics consumers subscribed to the analytics, the DCCF invokes Nadrf_DataManagement_RetrievalUnsubscribe as specified in clause 10.2.7 to unsubscribe from the ADRF.

If the analytics are being provided by an NWDAF and there are no other analytics consumers subscribed to the analytics, the DCCF invokes Nnwdaf_AnalyticsSubscription_Unsubscribe service operation as specified in clause 7.2.3 to unsubscribe from the NWDAF.

The DCCF de-configures the MFAF so it no longer maps notifications received from the NWDAF to the notification endpoints configured in step 3.
