The Network Function Repository Function – or NRF – is a key element of the new 5G Service Based Architecture . It basically provides a single record of all network functions (NF) available in a given PLMN, together with the profile of each and the services they support.
Read moreWhat is NRF in 3GPP?
NF Repository Function. The NF (Network Function) Repository Function is related to the 3GPP 5G Architecture. This supports the service discovery function . As such, it is able to receive NF Discovery Request from a NF instance and can provide information about discovered NF instances.
Read moreWhat are the requirements guiding the 5G architecture?
5G features include automation and network slicing. Discrete core functions include routing, quality of service, deep packet inspection and a range of security functions, among others. Core architecture provides for the separation of the control plane, the data plane and the subscription management functions .
Read moreWhat is NSSF in 5G?
The NSSF (Network Slicing Selection Function) system is a solution to select the optimal network slice available for the service requested by the user in the 5G environment where various services are provided .
Read moreIs 4G service based architecture?
The introduction of control and user plane separation in the 4G EPC is the first step towards the 5G architecture. The SGW and PGW functions were split into a control and data plane component. As shown in the above figure, the 4G EPC components have been reorganized into service-oriented functions .20 Eki 2018
Read moreIs NRF mandatory in 5G?
Oracle Communications NRF is a critical component required to implement the new service-based architecture (SBA) in the 5G core .
Read moreWhat is 5G service based architecture?
The 3GPP defines a Service-Based Architecture (SBA), whereby the control plane functionality and common data repositories of a 5G network are delivered by way of a set of interconnected Network Functions (NFs), each with authorization to access each other’s services .
