Feature Description

PCF supports the LDAP and Sh versions of the N36 reference point to and from the simulated UDR to access subscriber profile information and to write dynamic session data as required for session processing.

This feature provides the following capabilities:

  • Support for Sh Interface: PCF communicates with HSS and downloads the subscription profile. It sends policies that are based on the subscription profile.

  • Support for policy changes based on subscription changes in PCF: Based on subscription changes that are received from Sh or LDAP or local configuration, PCF invokes the Npcf_SMPolicyControl_UpdateNotify service to update the policies in SMF.
