== Known limitation ==
Placing npcf-smpolicycontrol and pcf-policyauthorization
in different NFs is not supported. Both npcf-smpolicycontrol
and pcf-policyauthorization should be placed in the same NF.
- Gy instead of Gx AVP was used.
- Use correct avp position and avp variables.
Fixes: 657eef9169 ("[SMF] send 3GPP-Charging-Characteristics on Gx if received on S5/8c")
The 3GPP-Charging-Characteristics is an operator specific AVP
(optional). The 3GPP-Charging-Characteristics can be filled by the HSS
and forwarded by the MME towards the SMF.

* Add Diameter Dictionary Elements
* Initial IDR Framework
* Resolve Compile Issues
* Moving Closer
* Compile error
* Somewhat Working stuffing Code
* Add Timestamp Changes
* Cleanup some of this code. mme_s6a_handle_idr in s6a-handler.c removed for now, since it will only come in handy when IDR flag is set to request current location, which would involve breaking out into paging. I think there's a few other things we can do just within fd-path first.
* further removal of mme_s6a_handle_idr
In case that SMF was configured to run without Diameter, it would crash
on application exit due to uninitialized variables/pointers.

[smf] FATAL: smf_gx_final: Assertion `ret == 0' failed. (../src/smf/gx-path.c:1353)
The problem occurred in the following scenario:
1. VLR sent PAGING-REQUEST to the MME
2. MME sent S1-Paging to the UE
3. Paging failed
4. MME responded SERVICE-REQUEST to the VLR
5. VLR sent DOWNLINK-UNITDATA to the MME
6. Even though there is no S1 Context,
MME try to sent DownlinkNASTransport message to the UE.
7. So, the problem occurred.
I've changed the number 4 PAGING-REJECT instead of SERVICE-REQUEST.
* CLR while idle is broken after 7031856cd7
Cancel Location Request arriving while UE is idle will not proceed to paging due to this check for S1 connection. Using new flag "isAnswer" to bypass this check to allow paging to occur when we are not doing a AIA/ULA related procedure.
* No Context Setup is required when sending the detach request. If the paging was due to wanting to send a Detach Request to the UE, then we fast track to sending the detach request.
* emm-sm.c:
In the case of MME initiated detach while UE is idle, there is no initial conext setup. We go right from the service request after paging into sending the detach request. TS23.401
mme-path.c:
Using nas_eps.type in the case of MME Initiated Detach while UE is idle does not work. nas_eps.type would represent the service request.
mme-s11-handler.c:
After S11 action, no action should be taken. We want to wait for the detach accept from the UE before proceeding with the S1 release (detach).
* InitialContextSetup should occur for detach.
As per 3GPP TS 29.060 version 15.3.0, section 7.3.3, 7.3.4, 7.3.5 and 7.3.6
Only if PCO IE is included in Update/Delete PDP Context Request then it
must be present in Update/Delete PDP Context Response.
In order to reflect on whether the request contained PCO IE or not
the SMF context containing the GTP request needs to be updated
i.e. update if present else clear the contents
As per 3GPP TS 29.274 version 10.5.0, section 7.2.9 and 7.2.10,
Only if PCO IE is included in Delete Session Request then it
must be present in Delete Session Response.
In order to reflect on whether the request contained PCO IE or not
the SMF context containing the GTP request needs to be updated
i.e. update if present else clear the contents
Do not Set Origin-Hosts with fd_msg_rescode_set before potential use of ogs_diam_message_experimental_rescode_set. This results in multiple Origin-Host/Realm AVPs.
- Added diameter dictionary definitions for Cancel Location
- Cancel Location will completely remove UE from MME, allow for a fresh IMSI attach to occur on next attempt.
- T3422 is used for detach request.
- Added new handling for s6a events in mme-sm, as not all s6a messages are at attach now. Maybe there's something in a state machine I should've been using here instead of a new flag?
- Testing was completed with UE in idle and connected. With CLR flags indicating re-attach required and without. Also sending CLR after UE detach. And then sending again when mme_ue is empty.
Found no support for HSS provided charging characteristics. Following TS32.251 A.4:
- Use PDN level CC, if one wasn't provided then use subscription level CC
- Don't send CC in S11 if it wasn't included
