== 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.
In case there are multiple AMF registered to NRF, SMF would pick only
the first AMF from the list.
In the case of sending PDU Session Establishment Accept from SMF to
AMF, this would mean a high chance of failure since the AMF might
be different than the original requester, and would not know about a
particular UE.
Modify SMF to use ServingNfId field from original request
SmContextCreateData from AMF to determine to which AMF should it send
PDU Session Establishment Accept message.
1. UE registered and PDU established.
2. PCF does not receive Heartbeat.
- PCF De-registered state.
- Since PDU is established, SMF should not remove NF instance
3. PCF re-registered.
- HERE, WE NEED TO INCREASE NF REFERENCE COUNT.
Otherwise, NF instance will be removed if PCF is de-registered state
4. UE sends PDU release request.
5. Because SMF knows PCF NF instance, SMF can send PCF delete
- Set the number of UEs in units of AMF/MME instead of gNB/eNB.
- See default value as shown below
Number of UEs per AMF/MME : 4,096
Number of gNB/eNB per AMF/MME : 32
