Feature Description

The SMF currently supports either the December 2018 compliance version of 3GPP specification or the June 2019 compliance version of 3GPP specification for the SMF interfaces such as N1, N2, N4, N7, N10, N11, N40, and Nnrf. The SMF processes the messages from these interfaces as per the compliance profile configured for the corresponding services. For information on the compliance profile configurations, see the Configuring Interfaces section.

Currently, only IE encoding and decoding is supported. The existing features work with the June 2019 specification versions. No additional features in the June 2019 version are supported.

Note

The SMF continues to support the older versions of 3GPP specifications and the compliance profile configuration controls the same for the SMF interfaces.
