Event | Detection criteria | Which NF detects the event |
---|---|---|
Loss of Connectivity | Network detects that the UE is no longer reachable for either signalling or user plane communication (see NOTE 4). The AF may provide a Maximum Detection Time, which indicates the maximum period of time without any communication with the UE after which the AF is to be informed that the UE is considered to be unreachable (see NOTE 7). If Unavailability Period Duration has been provided by the UE, the AMF uses the remaining value of it to determine the foreseen Loss of Connectivity time as described in clause 5.4.1.4 of TS 23.501. | AMF |
UE reachability |
Detected when the UE transitions to CM-CONNECTED state or when the UE will become reachable for paging, e.g. Periodic Registration Update timer. It indicates when the UE becomes reachable for sending downlink data to the UE.
The AF may provide the following parameters:
| AMF, UDM |
Location Reporting |
This event is detected based on the Event Reporting Information Parameters that were received in the Monitoring Request (one-time reporting, maximum number of reports, maximum duration of reporting, periodicity, etc. as specified in clause 4.15.1).
It reports either the Current Location or the Last Known Location of a UE.
When AMF is the detecting NF:
One-time and Continuous Location Reporting are supported. For Continuous Location Reporting the serving node(s) sends a notification every time it becomes aware of a location change, with the granularity depending on the accepted accuracy of location (see NOTE 1).
For One-time Reporting with immediate reporting flag set, AMF reports the Last Known Location immediately.
When AMF is the detecting NF:
If the immediate reporting flag is not set, the AMF reports the UE Current Location (In case the AMF does not have the UE current location in the granularity as requested by the location report, the AMF retrieves the information via NG-RAN Location reporting procedure as defined in clause 4.10).
When GMLC is the detecting NF:
Immediate and Deferred Location Reporting is supported. For Deferred Location Reporting the event types UE availability, Area, Periodic Location and Motion are supported.
| AMF, GMLC |
Change of SUPI-PEI association | This event is detected when the association between PEI and subscription (SUPI) changes (USIM change). | UDM |
Roaming status | This event is detected based on the UE's current roaming status (the serving PLMN and/or whether the UE is in its HPLMN) and notification is sent when that status changes. (see NOTE 2). If the UE is registered via both 3GPP and N3GPP Access Type, then both instances of Roaming status are included. | UDM |
Communication failure | This event is detected when RAN or NAS level failure is detected based on connection release and it identifies RAN/NAS release code. | AMF |
Availability after Downlink Data Notification failure | This event is detected when the UE becomes reachable again after downlink data delivery failure. When requesting Availability after Downlink Data Notification failure monitoring, the AF may in addition request Idle Status Indication to be included in the UE reachability event reporting. | AMF |
PDU Session Status | This event is detected when PDU session is established or released. (see NOTE 6) | SMF |
Number of UEs present in a geographical area | This event is detected based on the Event Reporting Information Parameters that were received in the Monitoring Request (Level of aggregation, Sampling ratio, see clause 4.15.1). It indicates the number of UEs that are in the geographical area described by the AF. The AF may ask for the UEs that the system knows by its normal operation to be within the area (Last Known Location) or the AF may request the system to also actively look for the UEs within the area (Current Location). | AMF |
CN Type change | The event is detected when the UE moves between EPC and 5GC. It indicates the current CN type for a UE or a group of UEs when detecting that the UE switches between being served by a MME and an AMF or when accepting the event subscription. (see NOTE 3) | UDM |
Downlink data delivery status |
It indicates the downlink data delivery status in the core network. Events are reported at the first occurrence of packets being buffered, transmitted or discarded, including:
| SMF |
UE reachability for SMS delivery | For SMS over NAS, this event is detected when an SMSF is registered for a UE and the UE is reachable as determined by the AMF and the UDM. For SMS over IP, the event is detected when the UE is reachable as determined by the AMF and the UDM regardless of an SMSF being registered. This enables the UE to receive an SMS. See clauses 4.2.5.2 and 4.2.5.3 (see NOTE 8). | UDM |
UE memory available for SMS | This event is detected when the UE memory is available for SMS as determined by the AMF and the UDM. This enables to trigger Alert for SMS. See clause 5.1.8 of TS 23.540 | UDM |
Number of registered UEs and/or established PDU Sessions | It indicates the current number of registered UEs or established PDU Sessions for a network slice that is subject to NSAC. For One-time Reporting with Immediate Reporting Flag set, NSACF reports the number of registered UEs or established PDU Sessions immediately. | NSACF |
Area Of Interest | It indicates change of the UE presence in the Area Of Interest. | AMF, GMLC |
Group Member List Change | It indicates the changes on the members of the group. This event apply to a group of UEs (identified by an External Group ID), such as 5G VN group (see NOTE 9) or other groups. | UDM |
Group-MBR monitoring | The bit rates of a set of specific QoS flows of a group of UEs' PDU sessions are reported by the UEs' respective serving PSA UPFs to NEF. The collected bit rates reported by UPFs are aggregated by the NEF. The aggregated bit rate is then compared against the AF provisioned Group-MBR threshold. If the aggregated bit rate exceeds the Group-MBR threshold, the NEF notifies the AF for such NEF event. | AF |
NOTE 1:
Location granularity for event request, or event report, or both could be at cell level (Cell ID) or TA level. The granularity can also be expressed by other formats such as geodetic uncertainty shapes (e.g. polygons, circles, etc.) or civic addresses (e.g. streets, districts, etc.) which can be mapped by NEF to AMF specific granularity levels.
NOTE 2:
Roaming status means whether the UE is in HPLMN or VPLMN based on the most recently received registration state in the UDM.
NOTE 3:
CN type of CN Type change event is defined in clause 5.17.5.1 of TS 23.501.
NOTE 4:
In the case of UDM service operation information flow, the UDM should set the subscribed periodic registration timer to a smaller value than the value of Maximum Detection Time, since the value of the mobile reachable timer is larger than the value of the periodic registration timer.
NOTE 5:
Maximum Latency, Maximum Response Time and Suggested number of downlink packets are defined in clause 4.15.6.3a.
NOTE 6:
The NEF makes a mapping between the 5GS internal event "PDU Session Status" and the T8 API event "PDN Connectivity Status".
NOTE 7:
The preferred method for provisioning Network Configuration Parameters is External Parameter Provisioning specified in clause 4.15.6.3a. Provisioning event specific parameters as part of Monitoring Request is expected to be used only by the AF that does not support Parameter Provisioning procedure specified in clause 4.15.6.3a.
NOTE 8:
The NEF maps between the T8 API event "UE reachability" with reachability type SMS and the 5GS internal event "UE reachability for SMS delivery" for SMS over NAS.
The event "UE reachability for SMS delivery" for SMS over IP is used by HSS as described in clause 5.5.6.3 of TS 23.632.
NOTE 9:
5G VN group management is defined in the clause 5.29.2 of TS 23.501.
