1  Scopep. 11

The present document specifies the stage 3 protocol and data model for the Nsmf Service Based Interface. It provides stage 3 protocol definitions and message flows, and specifies the API for each service offered by the SMF other than the Session Management Event Exposure service and Session Management services for Non-IP Data Delivery (NIDD).
The 5G System stage 2 architecture and procedures are specified in TS 23.501 and TS 23.502.
The Technical Realization of the Service Based Architecture and the Principles and Guidelines for Services Definition are specified in TS 29.500 and TS 29.501.
The Session Management Event Exposure Service is specified in TS 29.508. The Session Management services for Non-IP Data Delivery (NIDD) are specified in TS 29.542.

4.1  Introductionp. 14

Within the 5GC, the SMF offers services to NF service consumers via the Nsmf service based interface (see TS 23.501 and TS 23.502).
Figure 4.1-1 provides the reference model (in service based interface representation and in reference point representation), with focus on the SMF services specified within the present specification.

N16 is the reference point between the V-SMF and H-SMF in Home Routed (HR) roaming cases.
N16a is the reference point between SMF and I-SMF.
N38 is the reference point between I-SMFs or V-SMFs.
The functionalities supported by the SMF are listed in clause 6.2.2 of TS 23.501.
