5G System; Policy and Charging Control signalling flows and QoS parameter mapping; Stage 3
The present document specifies detailed call flows of Policy and Charging Control (PCC) over the Npcf, Nsmf, Namf, Nudr, Nnef, Nchf, Nbsf, Nnwdaf and Nmbsmf service-based interfaces and their relationship with the flow level signalling in 5G system.
NOTE: The call flows depicted in this Technical Specification do not cover all traffic cases.
The stage 2 definition and procedures of PCC are contained in 3GPP TS 23.502 [3] and 3GPP TS 23.503 [4]. The 5G System Architecture is defined in 3GPP TS 23.501 [2].
The stage 2 definition and procedures for PCC specific for wireless and wireline convergence are contained in 3GPP TS 23.316 [70].
The stage 2 definition and procedures of PCC for 5G multicast/broadcast services are contained in 3GPP TS 23.247 [54].
Detailed stage 3 procedures are provided in 3GPP TS 29.507 [7], 3GPP TS 29.508 [8], 3GPP TS 29.512 [9], 3GPP TS 29.514 [10], 3GPP TS 29.520 [11], 3GPP TS 29.519 [12], 3GPP TS 29.521 [22], 3GPP TS 29.594 [23], 3GPP TS 29.522 [24], 3GPP TS 29.551 [25], 3GPP TS 29.525 [31], 3GPP TS 29.554 [26] and 3GPP TS 29.537 [55].
The Technical Realization of the Service Based Architecture and the Principles and Guidelines for Services Definition of the 5G System are specified in 3GPP TS 29.500 [5] and 3GPP TS 29.501 [6].
The present specification also describes the PCC reference architectures for non-roaming and roaming scenarios in 5G system.
The present specification also describes the mapping of QoS parameters at AF, PCF,| SMF and MB-SMF.
The present specification also describes the session binding at PCF, and the QoS flow binding at SMF and MB-SMF.
The present specification also describes the PCF addressing.
