How it Works
SMF provides retransmission support for the following request messages:
-
Namf_Communication EBI Assignment Request
-
Namf_Communication N1 N2 Message Transfer Request
When SMF doesn't receive a response for the preceding messages, SMF retransmits the message to the same endpoint. SMF starts the internally configured timer after sending these messages to the AMF. The timer stops after SMF receives a response from the AMF. In case the timer expires while waiting for a response, SMF uses the retry mechanism for which you have configured the number of retry attempts.
