5.2  Nsmf_PDUSession Service  p. 15

5.2.1  Service Description  p. 15

The Nsmf_PDUSession service operates on the PDU Sessions. The service operations exposed by this service allow other NFs to establish, modify and release the PDU Sessions. The following are the key functionalities of this NF service:
  • Creation, modification and deletion of SM contexts for PDU Sessions; an SM context represents an association between the NF Service Consumer (e.g. AMF) and the SMF for a PDU session;
  • Retrieval of SM contexts of PDU sessions (i.e. UE EPS PDN connection or complete SM context), e.g. to move PDU sessions towards the EPC using the N26 interface or to transfer SM contexts between I-SMFs or V-SMFs over the N38 interface;
  • Creation, modification and deletion of PDU sessions between the V-SMF and H-SMF in HR roaming scenarios, or between the I-SMF and SMF for PDU sessions involving an I-SMF;
  • Sending of mobile originated data (received over NAS) for a PDU session to the SMF, V-SMF in HR roaming scenarios, or I-SMF for PDU sessions involving an I-SMF;
  • Transferring of NEF anchored mobile originated data for a PDU session to the H-SMF in HR roaming scenarios, or SMF for PDU sessions involving an I-SMF;
  • Transferring of NEF anchored mobile terminated data for a PDU session to the V-SMF in HR roaming scenarios, or I-SMF for PDU sessions involving an I-SMF;
  • Association of policy and charging rules with PDU Sessions and binding the policy and charging rules to flows;
  • Interacting with the UPF over N4 for creating, modifying and releasing user plane sessions;
  • Process user plane events from the UPF and apply the corresponding policy and charging rules.
The Nsmf_PDUSession service supports the following service operations.
Service Operations Description Operation Semantics Example Consumer(s)
Create SM ContextCreate an SM context in SMF, or in V-SMF in HR roaming scenarios, or in I-SMF during the I-SMF insertion and change scenarios, for a PDU session.Request/ ResponseAMF
Update SM ContextUpdate the SM context of a PDU session and/or provide the SMF with N1 or N2 SM information received from the UE or from the AN.Request/ ResponseAMF, I-SMF
Release SM ContextRelease the SM context of a PDU session when the PDU session has been released.Request/ ResponseAMF
Notify SM Context Status
(NOTE 1) 		Notify the NF Service Consumer about the status of an SM Context of a PDU session (e.g. the SM Context is released within the SMF).Subscribe/ NotifyAMF
Retrieve SM Context
(NOTE 2) 		Retrieve an SM context of a PDU session:
  • from SMF, or from V-SMF in HR roaming scenarios, for 5GS to EPS mobility;
  • from SMF during I-SMF insertion or from I-SMF during I-SMF change/removal;
  • from V-SMF during change of V-SMF.
