6.7.1.1 Background and problem description
While in R18 UPEAS item, the NAT related issues are introduced and solved. If NAT deployed in network, there exists the mapping table between internal private UE IP address (used in 5GC internally) and public UE IP address used in application server. If NAT is supported in network, there exists the problem that in eNA ...

6.7.1.2 High level description
NWDAF can subscribe to the AF in order for the AF to collect data from UE which can be used by NWDAF for analytics to the UE. In the subscription, the NWDAF can provide the SUPI/GPSI to the AF, and the AF then needs to be able to correlate the IP flow between itself and the UE with the received SUPI/GPSI. The NWDAF can...

Rel-18 UPEAS has defined mechanisms that consumer (e.g. NWDAF) can subscribe to UPF for the events (e.g. QoS Monitoring) via SMF, and the UPF can directly send the event notification to the consumer. NOTE 1: This solution focuses on the indirect subscription of UPF via SMF. After the consumer subscribes to the UPF even...

In clause 6.8 of TS 23.548 [7], the AF may request DNAI mapping information from 5GC via NEF. The DNAI mapping information includes the EAS address information (i.e. IP address(es), EAS IP range(s) or FQDN(s)) and the associated DNAI. The DNAI mapping information is statically configured in the NEF/UDR by the OAM. This...

This solution aims to provide a mechanism to support UPF relocation when a consumer NF has directly subscribed to UPF for Event exposure.

So authorization of consumer NF for using Nupf_EventExposure service can be done based ...
