TDoc comparison: C3-231069 (Nokia, Nokia Shanghai Bell) C3-231070 (Nokia, Nokia Shanghai Bell) C3-231199 (Huawei)

TDoc C3-231069:

- ToS/TC is used for service data flow detection, requiring proper management to avoid collision with other usage.
- Type AsSessionWithQoSSubscription represents AS session request with specific QoS for service provided by SCS/AS to SCEF via T8 interface.
- FlowInfo type represents flow information and includes the possibility of including "tosTC" attribute for packet filter differentiation.

Example from TDoc: "To use ToS/TC for service data flow detection, network configuration by the operator (and additionally by the 3rd party Service Provider when the transport network is not fully within the operator control) needs to ensure there is no ToS/TC re-marking applied along the path from the application to the PSA UPF."

TDoc C3-231070:

- Contains a reused API applicable for both EPS and 5GS.
- Describes northbound APIs applicable for both systems.

Example from TDoc: "This clause describes the northbound APIs which are applicable for both EPS and 5GS."

TDoc C3-231199:

- Proposes creating a new TS skeleton dedicated to defining NBI APIs.
- Allows for similar outlines and referencing of the same template for NBI TSs.
- Proposed location for the new TS skeleton is in the same location as the existing SBI TS skeleton.

Example from TDoc: "With the ongoing and expected introduction of more NBI APIs (especially application layer APIs) in Rel-18 and the following releases, it is becoming more critical to have a TS skeleton dedicated for NBI APIs in order to allow the following improvements."

TDoc comparison: C3-231201 (Huawei, Nokia, Nokia Shanghai Bell) C3-231202 (Huawei) C3-231410 (Ericsson)

1. The first TDoc (C3-231201) defines an API with a "supportedFeatures" and a "shareableInfo" component, which are referenced from external schemas. The API also has a "serviceAPICategory" field and a "ccfId" field with a list of possible values.
- Example snippet: "supportedFeatures: $ref: 'TS29571_CommonData.yaml#/components/schemas/SupportedFeatures'"
2. The second TDoc (C3-231202) defines an EASRegistration schema with an "easProf" field, a "suppFeat" field, and a "transContSupp" field that is another referenced external schema. The responses include a "201" response with a description of a successful registration.
- Example snippet: "responses: '201': description: EAS information is registered successfully at EES."
3. The third TDoc (C3-231410) defines a ConfigurationNotification object with a "supportedFeatures" field and a "mtcProviderId" field that is nullable. It also includes a "ConfigurationResult" array with a minimum of one "ConfigResult" object and a "validityTime" field.

[TDoc C3-231254]:

- Verification of VAL server identity and authorization to modify VAL group information
- Verification of valGroupId in HTTP PUT request message
- Updating/modifying group document with valid group configuration information
- Invoking 5GLANParameterProvision API for 5G LAN-Type communication

[TDoc C3-231255]:

- Classification of SEAL APIs into two categories: APIs type 1 and APIs type 2
- Type-dependant application errors limitations for APIs type 2
- Multiple target identifier types for APIs type 2 (VAL User IDs, VAL services, and external group identifier)

[TDoc C3-231411]:

- Response to AF with "404 Not Found" status code and ProblemDetails data structure for UE_NOT_FOUND application error when no SUPI matching provided UE information is returned by BSF
- Interaction with UDM to retrieve AF specific UE Identifier using received SUPI and application information
- Response to AF with received information or proper error status code

[TDoc C3-231415]:

- Inclusion of alternative individual QoS related parameter(s) and at least one of guaranteed bandwidth in uplink/downlink, requested packet delay budget, or requested packet error rate in AlternativeServiceRequirementsData data structure
- Provisioning of QoS requirements and subscription with TSCTSF to QOS_GUARANTEED and QOS_NOT_GUARANTEED events if NEF authorizes AF request and TSC_5G feature is supported
- Notification of AF with QOS_GUARANTEED event or QOS_NOT_GUARANTEED event and currently applied QoS reference if received

Example snippet from TDoc C3-231254: "if the group document information in the request includes 5G LAN-Type communication, invoke the 5GLANParameterProvision API towards the NEF via an HTTP PUT/PATCH message as defined in clause 4.4.15.3 of 3GPP TS 29.522"

Example snippet from TDoc C3-231255: "SEAL APIs that operate with multiple target identifier types ('APIs type 2' for short), e.g., the VALGroupDocument data type in the SS_GroupManagement API allows creating a VAL group based on the list of VAL User IDs, list of VAL services, and/or the external group identifier."

Example snippet from TDoc C3-231411: "If no SUPI matching the provided UE information is returned by the BSF, the NEF shall respond to the AF with a '404 Not Found' status code with the response body including a ProblemDetails data structure containing the 'cause' attribute set to the 'UE_NOT_FOUND' application error to indicate that the requested UE address is not found."

Example snippet from TDoc C3-231415: "If the NEF authorizes the AF request, and if the 'TSC_5G' feature is supported, the NEF may provision the received QoS requirements and subscribe with the TSCTSF to 'QOS_GUARANTEED' and 'QOS_NOT_GUARANTEED' events by invoking the Ntsctsf_QoSandTSCAssistance_Create request as defined in 3GPP TS 29.565."

• The V-PCF must use the Npcf_UEPolicyControl_Update Service Operation defined in clause 4.2.3 to send UE Policy Delivery results to the H-PCF if they relate to UE policy sections provided by the H-PCF. [TDoc C3-231042 and TDoc C3-231420]
• The (H-)PCF determines the applicable V2XP and V2X N2 PC5 policy based on the operator's policy if the UE indicates support for V2X communications over PC5 reference point and if the "V2X" feature is supported. [TDoc C3-231042 and TDoc C3-231420]
• The (H-)PCF determines the applicable ProSeP if the UE indicates support for 5G ProSe and if the "ProSe" feature is supported. [TDoc C3-231042 and TDoc C3-231420]
• The (V-)PCF may subscribe to GUAMI changes using the AMFStatusChange service operation of the Namf_Communication service specified in 3GPP TS 29.518 if it receives a GUAMI. [TDoc C3-231042 and TDoc C3-231420]

For example, TDoc C3-231042 states that the V-PCF shall use the Npcf_UEPolicyControl_Update Service Operation to send UE Policy Delivery results to the H-PCF if they relate to UE policy sections provided by the H-PCF. Additionally, the (H-)PCF determines the V2XP and V2X N2 PC5 policy if the UE supports V2X communications over PC5 reference point and the "V2X" feature is supported. Similarly, the (H-)PCF determines the ProSeP if the UE supports 5G ProSe and the "ProSe" feature is supported. Finally, if the (V-)PCF receives a GUAMI, it may subscribe to GUAMI changes using the AMFStatusChange service operation of the Namf_Communication service specified in 3GPP TS 29.518.

TDoc C3-231420 has the same technical differences and points as TDoc C3-231042.

TDoc comparison: C3-231038 (Ericsson) C3-231419 (Huawei)

Technical differences among TDoc C3-231038 and TDoc C3-231419:

1. TDoc C3-231419 introduces a new feature called "ExtendedSamePcf," which is not mentioned in TDoc C3-231038.
- Example from TDoc C3-231419: "when the PCF determines that the same PCF shall be selected for the SM Policy associations to the same UE ID, S-NSSAI and DNN combination in the non-roaming or home-routed scenario and there is no SM Policy association for the UE ID, S-NSSAI and DNN combination, the PCF, after determining whether the BSF supports the 'SamePcf' or the 'ExtendedSamePcf' feature as described in 3GPP TS 29.521"

2. In TDoc C3-231419, the ProblemDetails data structure's "cause" attribute is set to "NO_BINDING_INFO_FOUND" instead of "EXISTING_BINDING_INFO_FOUND."
- Example from TDoc C3-231419: "If the PCF receives the from the BSF '403 Forbidden' status code with the 'cause' attribute of the ProblemDetails data structure set to 'NO_BINDING_INFO_FOUND'"

3. TDoc C3-231419 specifies that the PCF must use the "pcfSmFqdn" attribute to identify the existing PCF, whereas TDoc C3-231038 allows the use of either "pcfSmFqdn" or "pcfSmIpEndPoints" attribute.
- Example from TDoc C3-231419: "the FQDN of the Npcf_SMPolicyControl service of the existing PCF (i.e. that handles SM Policy association(s) to the same UE ID, S-NSSAI and DNN combination) within the 'pcfSmFqdn' attribute of the BindingResp data structure as defined in clause 4.2.2.2 of 3GPP TS 29.521"
- Example from TDoc C3-231038: "the FQDN or description of IP endpoints of the Npcf_SMPolicyControl service of the existing PCF (i.e. that handles SM Policy association(s) to the same UE ID, S-NSSAI and DNN combination) within the 'pcfSmFqdn' attribute or the 'pcfSmIpEndPoints' attribute of the BindingResp data structure"

TDoc comparison: C3-231096 (Ericsson) C3-231097 (Ericsson)

• The proposed email approval process for updates of the YANG module file in 3GPP is similar to the one defined for updates of the OpenAPI specification file in this technical specification (TS), which reduces overhead compared to previous versions (29.513).
• The YANG module definition guidelines for 3GPP extensions to DetNet YANG model include Module Name, Header information, and Meta information, as well as a general description of the related 3GPP extension and the procedures it supports (4.2.1 Description).
• The technical specification that contains the YANG module file with 3GPP extensions to DetNet YANG model should also include information on the functionality related to the proposed extension and the related YANG module definitions.
• The scope of the corresponding service specification will be described in the clause 1 Scope.
• To ensure uniqueness of the prefix defined in the 3GPP extensions for the DetNet YANG model, the proposed prefix statement should end with "3gppdnet" (2.1.4.3).
• YANG formatting in a 3GPP Technical specification should follow specific guidelines, including treating the YANG module as a code component (2.1.6).
• The example provided in the Annex includes the 3gpp-detnet-5gs-node YANG module, which specifies 3GPP extensions to support indicating the maximum loss and maximum latency for DetNet flows in the 5GS system.
• The YANG module's namespace should follow the guidelines specified in RFC8407 Section 4.9.

Example snippet supporting the technical difference:

According to clause 4.2.1 Description, the technical specification that contains the YANG module file with 3GPP extensions to DetNet YANG model should include the functionality related to the proposed extension and the related YANG module definitions. This is a technical difference because previous versions of the technical specification did not provide guidelines for including such information, whereas the proposed version provides specific requirements for documenting the YANG module's functionality.

TDoc comparison: C3-231099 (Ericsson) C3-231100 (Ericsson)

Technical differences between TDoc C3-231099 and TDoc C3-231100:

1. AdditionalAddresses feature:
- TDoc C3-231099 mentions the "AdditionalAddresses" feature, which allows receiving information about one or more Framed Routes or IPv6 prefixes delegated to the UE by IPv6 Prefix Delegation.
- No mention of the AdditionalAddresses feature in TDoc C3-231100.

Example from TDoc C3-231099: "if the 'AdditionalAddresses' feature is supported, to the 'ADDITIONAL_ADDR' event to receive information about the one or more Framed Routes available for the PDU session or about the IPv6 prefixes delegated to the UE by IPv6 Prefix Delegation."

2. TSC User Plane information:
- Both TDocs mention the TSC User Plane information, which is received by the PCF from the AF.
- TDoc C3-231099 mentions that the PCF returns the event related information in the Npcf_PolicyAuthorization_Create response, while TDoc C3-231100 does not specify this.
- TDoc C3-231100 mentions that the PCF provides the SMF with the PMIC information received from the TSCTSF.

Example from TDoc C3-231099: "The PCF returns the event related information in the Npcf_PolicyAuthorization_Create response (e.g. TSC User Plane information (5GS Router information), additional addresses, if subscribed and available, and PMIC(s) if available)."

Example from TDoc C3-231100: "The PCF provides to the SMF the PMIC information received from the TSCTSF as described in clause 5.2.2.2.2.2, which sends the received PMIC to the NW-TT/UPF."

3. Npcf_PolicyAuthorization_Notify service operation:
- Both TDocs mention the Npcf_PolicyAuthorization_Notify service operation, which is invoked by the PCF to notify the TSCTSF about the received TSC User Plane information.
- TDoc C3-231099 mentions that the UE IP address is included to identify the PDU session, while TDoc C3-231100 does not specify this.

Example from TDoc C3-231099: "The PCF invokes the Npcf_PolicyAuthorization_Notify service operation to notify to the TSCTSF the received TSC User Plane information and if available, NW-TT PMIC, as described in figure 5.2.2.3-1, step 5 and includes the UE IP address to identify the PDU session."

Example from TDoc C3-231100: "The PCF invokes the Npcf_PolicyAuthorization_Notify service operation to notify to the TSCTSF the received TSC User Plane information, and if available, NW-TT PMIC, as described in figure 5.2.2.3-1, step 5 and includes the UE IP address to identify the PDU session."

4. DetNet controller:
- Both TDocs mention the DetNet controller, which receives interface configuration information from the TSCTSF.
- TDoc C3-231099 mentions that the TSCTSF may report to the DetNet controller the collected interface(s) information if the interface configuration information for the AF session is complete, while TDoc C3-231100 does not specify this.
- TDoc C3-231100 mentions that the SMF provides the received PMIC information to the PCF when PMIC changes for the NW-TT are detected.

Example from TDoc C3-231099: "If the TSCTSF determines the interface configuration information for the created AF-session is complete, the TSCTSF may report to the DetNet controller the collected interface(s) information as described in step 10."

Example from TDoc C3-231100: "When the SMF detects PMIC changes for the NW-TT, the SMF provides the received PMIC information to the PCF as described in clause 5.2.2.3. The TSCTSF determines that the interface information for the AF session is complete and may provide the collected network and device side interface configuration to the DetNet controller as defined in 3GPP TS 23.501."

TDoc comparison: C3-231083 (Intel) C3-231273 (Huawei)

The technical differences between TDoc C3-231083 and C3-231273 are as follows:

1. Policy Data Subscription Information Notification: In TDoc C3-231083, the PCF may request notifications from the UDR on changes in the policy data subscription information and invoke the Nudr_DataRepository_Subscribe service operation by sending an HTTP POST request to the "PolicyDataSubscriptions" resource. However, this feature is not mentioned in TDoc C3-231273.

Example from TDoc C3-231083: "The PCF may request notifications from the UDR on changes in the policy data subscription information (e.g, UE Policy Set resource), and in this case, the PCF shall invoke the Nudr_DataRepository_Subscribe service operation by sending an HTTP POST request to the "PolicyDataSubscriptions" resource."

2. Retrieval of Group Configuration: In TDoc C3-231083, the PCF invokes the Nudr_DataRepository_Query service operation to the UDR by sending the HTTP GET request to the "5GvnGroupsInternal" resource to retrieve the group configuration of the received 5G VN Group Id as specified in 3GPP TS 29.505 [47], if not internally available. However, this feature is not mentioned in TDoc C3-231273.

Example from TDoc C3-231083: "Additionally, the PCF invokes the Nudr_DataRepository_Query service operation to the UDR by sending the HTTP GET request to the "5GvnGroupsInternal" resource to retrieve the group configuration of the received 5G VN Group Id as specified in 3GPP TS 29.505 [47], if not internally available."

3. Notifications on Changes in 5G VN Group Configuration: In TDoc C3-231083, to request notifications from the UDR on changes in the 5G VN group configuration data associated with each of the Internal-Group-Id provided to the PCF, the PCF invokes the Nudr_DataRepository_Subscribe service operation by sending an HTTP POST request to the "SubscriptionDataSubscriptions" resource as specified in 3GPP TS 29.505 14. However, this feature is not mentioned in TDoc C3-231273.

Example from TDoc C3-231083: "Additionally, to request notifications from the UDR on changes in the 5G VN group configuration data associated to each of the Internal-Group-Id provided to the PCF, the PCF invokes the Nudr_DataRepository_Subscribe service operation by sending an HTTP POST request to the "SubscriptionDataSubscriptions" resource as specified in 3GPP TS 29.505 14."

4. Provision of URSP Rules: In TDoc C3-231273, if the (H-)PCF retrieves the BDT policy and corresponding related information within the BdtData data type, and the "bdtpStatus" attribute within the BdtData data type is set to value "INVALID", the (H-)PCF shall not provision the URSP rules based on the invalid BDT policy. Additionally, if the "AfGuideURSP" feature is supported by the Nudr_DataRepository service, the (H-)PCF may receive Service specific parameter information that contains data for AF guidance information on the URSP determination as defined in clause 6.4.2.15 of 3GPP TS 29.519. The (H-)PCF shall use the UE policy subscription data stored in UDR as specified in 3GPP TS 29.519.

Example from TDoc C3-231273: "If the (H-)PCF retrieves the BDT policy and corresponding related information (e.g. network area information, the volume of data to be transferred per UE, etc.) within the BdtData data type, and the "bdtpStatus" attribute within the BdtData data type is set to value "INVALID", the (H-)PCF shall not provision the URSP rules based on the invalid BDT policy." "If the "AfGuideURSP" feature is supported by the Nudr_DataRepository service, the (H-)PCF may receive Service specific parameter information that contains data for AF guidance information on the URSP determination as defined in clause 6.4.2.15 of 3GPP TS 29.519." "The (H-)PCF shall use the UE policy subscription data stored in UDR as specified in 3GPP TS 29.519."

- The first TDoc (C3-231394) discusses security considerations when using CAPIF for external exposure of EES services to EAS. The EAS as API invoker negotiates the security method with CAPIF and authenticates itself before invoking the API exposed by the EES. The interactions between the CAPIF core function and API provider domain functions may be independent of certain reference points, depending on the deployment scenario. The EES also retrieves authorization information from CAPIF if PKI or TLS-PSK is used as the selected security method.

Example snippet from C3-231394: "Before invoking the API exposed by the EES, the EAS as API invoker shall negotiate the security method (PKI, TLS-PSK or OAUTH2) with CAPIF core function and ensure the EAS has enough credential to authenticate the EAS (see 3GPP TS 29.222)."

- The second TDoc (C3-231395) specifies the north-bound APIs needed to support the services offered by EES and ECS over EDGE-3/6/9 interfaces for enabling edge applications over the 3GPP network. Various features are defined to ensure efficient use and deployment of edge applications, including registration, discovery, service provisioning, and capability exposure support for service continuity.

Example snippet from C3-231395: "The present document specifies the north-bound APIs in detail, needed to support the services offered by EES and ECS over EDGE-3/6/9 interfaces for enabling the edge applications over 3GPP network."

- The third TDoc (C3-231407) describes the processing of an HTTP POST request from a service consumer (EAS or EES) by the EES. The EES processes the EAS discovery request information, verifies and checks if the service consumer is authorized to discover the requested EAS(s) from the EES, and responds with an HTTP "200 OK" status code and the EasDiscoveryResp data structure if the request is successful. If no matching EAS is found and there is no client side error, the EES responds with an HTTP "204 No Content" status code.

Example snippet from C3-231407: "Upon reception of the HTTP POST request from the service consumer (i.e. EAS or EES), the EES shall: a) process the EAS discovery request information; b) the EES verifies and checks if the service consumer (i.e. EAS or EES) is authorized to discover the requested EAS(s) from the EES; c) if the service consumer (i.e. EAS or EES) is authorized to discover the requested EAS(s) from the EES, then upon successful processing of the request, the EES responds with an HTTP "200 OK" status code with the response body including the EasDiscoveryResp data structure as specified in clause 6.3.5.2.3 of 3GPP TS 24.558."

TDoc comparison: C3-231119 (Nokia, Nokia Shanghai Bell, Huawei) C3-231240 (ZTE)

Technical Differences and Example Snippets:

1. Requesting MBS Session Creation:
- TDoc C3-231119 uses the HTTP POST method to request the creation of an MBS Session.
- The request message body should include the MbsSessionCreateReq data structure with attributes for AF identifier and MBS session characteristics.
- If the request also includes creating a subscription to MBS session status events, the NEF creates a corresponding "Individual MBS Session Subscription" resource and returns a representation of it in the HTTP POST response body.

2. Modifying PCF for MBS Session Binding:
- TDoc C3-231240 uses the HTTP PATCH method to modify the PCF for an MBS Session binding.
- The request should target the URI of the concerned "Individual PCF for an MBS Session Binding" resource with the request body containing the PcfMbsBindingPatch data structure including the requested modifications.
- Upon successful modification, the BSF responds with either an HTTP "200 OK" status code with a representation of the updated "Individual PCF for an MBS Session Binding" resource or an HTTP "204 No Content" status code.
- If an invalid combination of query parameters is contained in the request URI, the BSF responds with an HTTP "400 Bad Request" error code containing "MANDATORY_QUERY_PARAM_MISSING" as application error within the ProblemDetails IE.

Example Snippets:
- TDoc C3-231119: "an AF shall send a Nnef_MBSSession_Create request to the NEF using the HTTP POST method"
- TDoc C3-231119: "the MbsSessionCreateReq data structure that shall contain...the identifier of the AF that is sending the request"
- TDoc C3-231119: "the characteristics of the MBS session that is to be created"
- TDoc C3-231240: "an HTTP PATCH request targeting the URI of the concerned 'Individual PCF for an MBS Session Binding' resource"
- TDoc C3-231240: "the request body containing the PcfMbsBindingPatch data structure including the requested modifications"
- TDoc C3-231240: "an HTTP '200 OK' status code with the response body containing a representation of the updated 'Individual PCF for an MBS Session Binding' resource within the PcfMbsBinding data structure"

TDoc comparison: C3-231125 (Nokia, Nokia Shanghai Bell) C3-231229 (Huawei)

[TDoc C3-231125]:
- The NEF responds with a "404 Not Found" status code and a ProblemDetails data structure containing the "cause" attribute set to the "UE_NOT_FOUND" application error if no SUPI matching the provided UE information is found.
- The NEF retrieves the AF specific UE Identifier using the received SUPI and at least one of the Application Port ID, MTC Provider Information or AF Identifier information by invoking Nudm_SDM_Get service.
- The NEF responds to the AF with the received information, i.e. the AF specific UE Identifier represented as an External Identifier that was received from the UDM.
- If the NEF receives an error response from the UDM, the NEF responds to the AF with a proper error status code.

[TDoc C3-231229]:
- The AF may include packet filter descriptor(s) within the "dddTraDescriptors" attribute and the list of monitoring downlink data delivery status event(s) within the "dddStati" attribute when creating or updating a subscription to the resource "Individual Monitoring Event Subscription".
- The NEF subscribes the events to the appropriate UDM(s) within the network by invoking the Nudm_EventExposure_Subscribe service operation.
- Based on the received AF information and local authorization policy, the NEF derives the LCS client type with a suitable enumeration value for the AF location request.
- The NEF provides the derived LCS client type as the "externalClientType" attribute when invoking the Ngmlc_Location_ProvideLocation service operation to provide location information.
- The NEF allows for the deletion of an existing network slice reporting subscription.

Example snippets from TDoc C3-231125 to support the difference highlighting:
- "the NEF shall respond to the AF with a "404 Not Found" status code with the response body including a ProblemDetails data structure containing the "cause" attribute set to the "UE_NOT_FOUND" application error to indicate that the requested UE address is not found;"
- "the NEF shall interact with the UDM to retrieve the AF specific UE Identifier using the received SUPI and at least one of the Application Port ID, MTC Provider Information or AF Identifier information by invoking Nudm_SDM_Get service"
- "the NEF shall then respond to the AF with the received information, i.e. the AF specific UE Identifier represented as an External Identifier that was received from the UDM;"
- "if the NEF receives an error response from the UDM, the NEF shall respond to the AF with a proper error status code."

Example snippets from TDoc C3-231229 to support the difference highlighting:
- "the AF may additionally include packet filter descriptor(s) within the "dddTraDescriptors" attribute and the list of monitoring downlink data delivery status event(s) within the "dddStati" attribute;"

[TDoc C3-231043]:

- The QosMonitoringInformation data structure includes requested QoS Monitoring Parameters, report frequencies, reporting period, delay thresholds, and minimum waiting time between subsequent reports.
- The PCF notifies the NF service consumer using the "EventsNotification" data type and replies to the NF service consumer as described in clauses 5.3.2.5.2 and 5.3.2.2.2, respectively.

[TDoc C3-231071]:

- The umLevel attribute references the UsageMonLevel schema while the allowedUsage attribute references the UsageThreshold schema.
- The resetTime attribute references the DateTime schema.
- The resetIds attribute is an array of strings.
- The LimitIdToMonitoringKey attribute contains the limit identifier and corresponding monitoring key for a given S-NSSAI and DNN.
- The SlicePolicyData attribute contains network slice-specific policy control information.
- The BdtData attribute contains background data transfer data.
- The PCF may include the V2XP attribute in the policy association create or update response in the roaming case.

[TDoc C3-231072]:

- The PCF reports the PC5 capability for V2X communications within the "pc5Capab" attribute.
- The H-PCF may include the V2XP attribute in the policy association create or update response in the roaming case.

[TDoc C3-231091]:

- The PolicyAssociationRequest attribute represents information for requesting the creation of a policy association.
- The praStatuses attribute contains UE presence status for tracking area for which changes of the UE presence occurred.
- The UeRequestedValueRep attribute contains the current applicable values corresponding to the policy control request triggers.

[TDoc C3-231094]:

- The NF service consumer can remove the "Individual Application Session Context" resource or the IP flow within the media component.
- The PCF sets appropriate QoS values for the AF signalling IP flow and installs the corresponding dynamic PCC rule.
- Combining the request for the AF signalling flow with an MPS for DTS invocation/revocation request is not supported.

[TDoc C3-231095]:

- The UE includes the "UE STATE INDICATION" message during initial registration and 5GS registration during UE mobility from EPS to 5GS.
- The WLAN access network selected by the UE with the use of Access Network Discovery & Selection policy may be used for direct traffic offload and for registering to 5GC using the non-3GPP access network selection information.

[TDoc C3-231134]:

- The PCF invokes the Nbsf_Management_Register service operation to create the PDU session binding information for a UE in the BSF and to request notifications from the UDR on changes in the AF influence data.
- The NEF invokes the Npcf_PolicyAuthorization_Update service operation upon receiving the Nnef_TrafficInfluence_Update request.

[TDoc C3-231232]:

- The BSF sets the "event" attribute to "PCF_PDU_SESSION_BINDING_REGISTRATION" or "PCF_PDU_SESSION_BINDING_DEREGISTRATION" and includes the "pcfForPduSessInfos" with the binding information of the detected or removed PDU session.
- The NEF provides means for the Application Functions to securely interact with the Policy framework for policy control to 3GPP network.

[TDoc C3-231233]:

- The BSF replies with an HTTP "200 OK" response containing the corresponding "PcfForUeBinding" data structure(s) and PCF addressing information if the binding resource matching the query parameters exists.
- The NF service consumer sends an HTTP GET request with "{apiRoot}/nbsf-management//pcf-ue-bindings" as Resource URI and "query parameters" that include SUPI and/or GPSI.
- The BSF searches the corresponding binding information and invokes the Nbsf_Management_Discovery service operation to obtain address information of the selected PCF for a UE in the BSF.

[TDoc C3-231235]:

- General PCC abilities can be exposed to a 3rd party application server via the NEF.
- The document lists various procedures, including AF-based service parameter provisioning, background data transfer negotiation, background data transfer policy applying, IPTV configuration provisioning, BDT warning notification, AF traffic routing, QoS monitoring, and AF-triggered dynamically changing AM policies.

[TDoc C3-231234]:

- The NF service consumer invokes the Nbsf_Management_Discovery service operation to obtain the address information of the selected PCF for a certain PDU session.
- The BSF sends an HTTP "200 OK" response to the NF service consumer with the address information of the selected PCF and associated information.
- The PCF instance ID and the SBA binding level can be included in the response.

[TDoc C3-231289]:

- The first octet of the Geographic Location field indicates the type of NG-RAN node and the length of the NG-RAN Node ID.
- The coding of the Geographic Location field follows subclause 9.3.1.5 in 3GPP TS 38.413 for NG-RAN Node ID.
- The coding of the Geographic Location field follows subclause 8.21.8 in 3GPP TS 29.274 for extended eNodeB ID.

[TDoc C3-231291]:

- Predefined PCC rules may be grouped as predefined PCC rule bases within the SMF.
- The PCF can dynamically activate sets of predefined PCC rules.
- The SMF decision logic for interacting with the PCF about an event related to a PCC rule base is up to implementation.
- Predefined PCC rules can be installed, modified, and removed at any time.

[TDoc C3-231396]:

- The values indicate different transmission technologies and RATs.
- WIRELINE-CABLE and WIRELINE-BBF indicate wireline transmission technologies.
- VIRTUAL indicates an unknown RAT.
- WLAN and N3GA indicate specific types of RATs.
- The other values indicate specific RATs, but some are not used in the present specification.
