19A PFCP based restart procedures
After a PFCP entity has restarted, it shall immediately update all local Recovery Time Stamps and shall clear all remote
Recovery Time Stamps. When peer PFCP entities information is available, i.e. when the PFCP Association is still alive,
the restarted PFCP entity shall send its updated Recovery Time Stamps in a Heartbeat Request message to the peer
PFCP entities before initiating any PFCP session signalling.
[AMF] Implicit Network-initiated Deregistration
Two timers are introduced (both with duration of T3512 + 4 min):
-MOBILE_REACHABLE
-IMPLICIT_DEREGISTRATION
MOBILE_REACHABLE is set when NAS connection for the UE is released.
IMPLICIT_DEREGISTRATION is set when MOBILE_REACHABLE expires.
On MOBILE_REACHABLE expiry Paging is ignored.
On IMPLICIT_DEREGISTRATION expiry:
-UE's RM_State is set to DEREGISTERED
-UE is Nudm_SDM_Unsubscribed
-UE is Nudm_UECM_Deregistered
-PDU sessions are released
-AM policies are deleted
Existing flag amf_ue->network_initiated_de_reg is used.

The public key is used when creating the SIM.

The current load percentage of the NF Service Consumer is provided
in the payload body of the PATCH request when periodically
contacting the NRF (heart-beat).
AMF: ratio between currently connected ran_ue and maximum number of them
SMF: ratio between current PDU sessions and maximum available
PCF: ratio between current AM+SM policy associations and maximum available
or ratio between currently connected UEs and maximum number of them
(the load which is higher)
AUSF, UDM: ratio between currently connected UE and maximum number of them
BSF: ratio between current sessions and maximum available
NSSF: ratio between currently used NSIs and maximum number of them
NRF currently doesn't determine that the NF Profile has changed.
Expose RM metrics with labels according to ETSI TS 128 552 V16.13.0 in
AMF by using hash.
The metrics are named respecting the rule:
<generation>_<measurement_object_class>_<measurement_family_name>_<metric_name_as_in_TS_128_552>
Since slice itself is not unique, the plmnid label is exposed in
addition to snssai.
RegInitFail is exposed as an alternative to RegInitReq and RegInitSucc
counters so cause label can be provided. It counts rejected registrations
and rejected authentications.
Rejected authentications are counted under label cause="0".
Exposed metrics example:
-standard gauge:
fivegs_amffunction_rm_registeredsubnbr{plmnid="00101",snssai="1000009"} 1
-nonstandard counter:
fivegs_amffunction_rm_reginitfail{cause="3"} 4
AMF does not crash anymore when a new UE registration request arrives,
and there is no available space left in UE context pool. Now it just
rejects the request with an error.
Each UE context has 'current' and 'next' TMSI values. AMF first
allocates the 'next' value, before confirming it and releasing the
'previous'. This means that we potentially need pool size of 2x the
amount of maximum configured UE.
Without this change, AMF would crash in case that there are 'x'
configured maximum amount of UE, and there are already 'x' registered
UE.

AMF subscribes to UDM for each registered UE.
At the moment, UDM does not send callback to AMF when any of the UE's
properties in the database changes.
At the moment, AMF does properly parse the ModificationNotification, but
does not do anything useful.
Without this change, using metrics with core setup configurations
(configs/vonr.yaml for example) would not be possible. Having one
metrics section for whole config file causes every NF to start metrics
server on same port causing an abort.
== 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.
For null protection scheme the SUCI needs to be BCD encoded. Whereas for
protection scheme profiles A and B the SUCI needs to be converted from
hexadecimal to ASCII.
This still needs the support for protection schemes A and B in UDM to
work.
1. DownlinkNASTransport
If AMF has not sent it previously, UE-AMBR is included in Registration
accept.
2. InitialContextSetupRequest
If PDUSessionResourceSetup is available, UE-AMBR is included
3. PDUSessionResourceSetupRequest
If AMF has not sent it previously, UE-AMBR is included
4. HandoverRequest
If PDUSessionResourceSetup is available, UE-AMBR is included
The AMF shall assign a new 5G-GUTI for a particular UE:
a) during a successful initial registration procedure;
b) during a successful registration procedure
for mobility registration update; and
c) after a successful service request procedure invoked as a response
to a paging request from the network and before the release
of the N1 NAS signalling connection as specified in subclause 5.4.4.1.
The AMF should assign a new 5G-GUTI for a particular UE
during a successful registration procedure
for periodic registration update. The AMF may assign a new 5G-GUTI
at any time for a particular UE by performing
the generic UE configuration update procedure.
