1  Scopep. 6

The present document specifies service, operations and procedures of 5G charging for service based interface. This charging description includes the charging architecture and scenarios as well as the mapping of the common charging architecture specified in TS 32.240. The present document is related to other 3GPP charging TSs as follows:
  • The common 3GPP charging architecture is specified in TS 32.240.
  • The protocol that are used for service based interface is specified in TS 32.291.
    The description is following the same methodology as used in TS 23.501 and TS 23.502 for the 5G system.

4  Architecture reference modelp. 8

4.1  Generalp. 8

The present document describes the service based architecture for 5G Charging.

4.2  Reference architecturep. 8

The NFs with CTF interact with CHF using Nchf interface for converged charging or offline only charging. The NF PCF interacts with CHF using Nchf interface for Spending Limit Control. The Nchf is a service based interface for NF and CHF.
Figure 4.2.1 depicts the reference architecture for the Nchf Interface.
