Feature Description

SMF uses either the Policy and Charging Control (PCC) rules from Policy Control Function (PCF) or the locally configured policy rules to control the policy management. The PCF sends the PCC rules along with the applicable QoS and charging information to the SMF. The SMF uses this information to define the QoS flows and apply the QoS enforcement (via UPF) and charging towards CHF.

The PCC rules can be configured locally as well. The locally configured policy rules are labelled as static or predefined rules.

The following sections provide information on the features that are implemented for the dynamic policy management.
