Maximum number of reports | Maximum number of reports after which the event subscription ceases to exist | (see NOTE 1) |
Maximum duration of reporting | Maximum duration after which the event subscription ceases to exist | (see NOTE 1) |

Deactivate notification flag | Indicates to the Event provider NF that the notification of the available events shall be muted until the Event consumer NF provides the retrieval notification flag to retrieve the events stored. | optional |
Retrieval notification flag | Indicates to the Event provider NF to send the notification to the Event consumer NF with the stored events and mutes again the notification of future events. | optional |
Granularity of dynamics | The maximum amount of dynamics in the event which allows to skip an event notification. | optional
(see NOTE 3) |
Reporting type | Event provider NF reports only when the events differs from the previously notified event. | optional
(see NOTE 4) |
Reporting Threshold | Threshold values indicate conditions on the level to be reached for the reporting | Optional
(see NOTE 5) |
NOTE 1:
The requester shall include 2) Maximum number of reports or 3) Maximum duration of reporting, or both, depending on 1) Event reporting mode.
NOTE 2:
Parameter only applicable to certain event IDs reporting metrics (e.g. Number of UEs present in a geographical area) used and used e.g. by the NWDAF for data collection.
NOTE 3:
The Granularity of dynamics includes 1) the range of scalar value, 2) the list of events identification, or 3) the previous notification. The range of scalar value is only applicable to the event depicted as number (e.g. the number of UE), the others is applicable to the event depicted as identification (e.g. UE location, UE identification).
NOTE 4:
The differences in event includes the events have been newly appeared, disappeared and changed from the previous notification.
NOTE 5:
This parameter is included only if the Event reporting mode indicates reporting when threshold is reached.

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). | 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 | 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. This enables the UE to receive an SMS. See clauses 4.2.5.2 and 4.2.5.3. | 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 |
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.
