4.1.3.2 NF Service Consumers
The SMF shall support:
- requesting and receiving the PFD(s) for one or more Application Identifiers.
4.2 Service Operations
4.2.1 Introduction
Service operations defined for the Nnef_PFDmanagement Service are shown in table 4.2.1-1.
ETSI
3GPP TS 29.551 version 15.12.0 Release 15 9 ETSI TS 129 551 V15.12.0 (2022-07)
Table 4.2.1-1: Nnef_PFDmanagement Service Operations
Service Operation Name Description Initiated by
Nnef_PFDmanagement_Fetch Provides the PFDs for application SMF
identifier(s) to the NF service consumer.
Nnef_PFDmanagement_Subscribe Allows NF service consumers to subscribe SMF
the notification of events when the PFDs for
application identifier change.
Nnef_PFDmanagement_Notify Notifies NF service consumer to update PFDF
and/or delete the PFDs for application
identifier(s).
Nnef_PFDmanagement_Unsubscribe Allows NF service consumers to SMF
unsubscribe the notification of events.

4.2.2 Nnef_PFDmanagement_Fetch Service Operation
4.2.2.1 General
The Nnef_PFDmanagement_Fetch service operation provides a means for the NF service consumer to retrieve the PFDs
for one or more application identifier(s).
The following procedures using the Nnef_PFDmanagement_Fetch service operation are supported:
- Retrieval of PFDs.
4.2.2.2 Retrieval of PFDs
This procedure as shown in Figure 4.2.2.2-1 is used to retrieve PFDs for an application identifier from the PFDF. This
procedure enables the NF service consumer to retrieve PFDs for an Application Identifier(s) from the PFDF when:
- a PCC rule with this application identifier is provided/activated by the PCF and the PFDs provided by the PFDF
are not available at the NF service consumer; or
- the caching timer for an application identifier elapses and a PCC rule for this application identifier is still active.
When the SMF removes the last PCC rule that refers to the corresponding application identifier, or when the caching
timer expires and no PCC rule refers to the application identifier, the SMF may remove the PFD(s) related with the
application identifier.
The PFDs retrieved from PFDF take precedence over any PFDs pre-configured in the SMF. If all PFDs retrieved from
the PFDF are removed for an application identifier, the pre-configured PFDs shall be applied again for the application
identifier.
The PFDF may provide caching time value together with the PFDs for an application identifier. The caching time value
retrieved from the PFDF takes precedence over the default caching time value configured in the NF service consumer.
If no caching time value is received from the PFDF, the configured default caching time value shall be applied.
NOTE 1: The NF service consumer(s) and the PFDF(s) within an operator network are configured with the same
default caching time value to be applied for all application identifiers.
NOTE 2: The configuration of a caching time value per application identifier in the PFDF is based on the SLA
between the operator and the ASP.
ETSI
3GPP TS 29.551 version 15.12.0 Release 15 10 ETSI TS 129 551 V15.12.0 (2022-07)

Figure 4.2.2.2-1: Retrieval of PFDs
1. The NF service consumer (i.e. SMF) shall send a GET request to the resource representing the PFD for
application identifier(s) to be required:
- for PFD of individual application identifier, the request URI shall include
"{apiRoot}/nnef-pfdmanagement/v1/applications/{appId}" (as shown in figure 4.2.2.2-1, step 1a); and
- for PFD of a collection of application identifiers, the request URI shall include
"{apiRoot}/nnef-pfdmanagement/v1/applications" (as shown in figure 4.2.2.2-1, step 1b) with query
parameters indicating the requested application identifier(s).
2. On success, "200 OK" shall be returned; the payload body of GET response shall contain a representation of
"Individual application PFD" resource or "PFD of applications" resource for the requested application
identifier(s). The NF service consumer shall replace the stored PFD(s) retrieved from the PFDF with the new
received PFD(s) for the requested application identifier(s). If the resource of one or more requested application
identifier(s) is not provided in the response, the NF service consumer shall remove the PFD(s) of the requested
application identifier(s) which is not included in the response and re-apply the pre-configured PFDs.

On failure, one of the HTTP status code listed in table 5.3.2.3.1-3 or table 5.3.3.3.1-3 shall be returned. For "404
Not Found", the NF service consumer shall remove the PFD(s) of the requested application identifier(s) in the
NF service consumer and re-apply the pre-configured PFDs.
4.2.3 Nnef_PFDmanagement_Subscribe Service Operation
4.2.3.1 General
The Nnef_PFDmanagement_Subscribe service operation enables NF service consumer to subscribe the notification of
events when the PFDs for application identifier change.

1. The NF service consumer (i.e. SMF) shall send a POST request to the request URI representing the PFD
subscriptions resource "{apiRoot}/nnef-pfdmanagement/v1/subscriptions". The NF service consumer shall
include the PfdSubscription data type in the request payload body. Within the PfdSubscription data type, the NF
service consumer shall include:
- an URI where to receive the requested notifications as "notifyUri" attribute;
may include:
- subscribed application identifier(s) within the "applicationIds" attribute.
2. If the request is accepted, the PFDF shall:
- create a new subscription;
- assign an subscriptionId;
- store the subscription; and
- send the response with "201 Created". The payload body shall contain a representation of the created
subscription, and the Location header shall contain the URI of the created subscription "{apiRoot}/nnef-
pfdmanagement/v1/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}".
Otherwise, one of the HTTP status code listed in table 5.3.4.3.1-3 shall be returned.
NOTE: The PFDs that have been provisioned to the PFDF before the NF service consumer performs the
subscription are not notified to the NF service consumer as a result of this subscription, but the NF service
consumer can retrieve them before performing the subscription by invoking
Nnef_PFDmanagement_Fetch Service Operation.
4.2.4 Nnef_PFDmanagement_Notify Service Operation
4.2.4.1 General
