25、on 13.6.0 Release 131 Scope The present document provides the stage 3 specification of the Np reference point. The functional requirements and the stage 2 specifications of the Np reference point are contained in 3GPP TS 23.203 2. The Np reference point lies between the RAN Congestion Awareness Func
26、tion (RCAF) and the Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF) for the non-roaming case, between the RCAF and the H-PCRF for the home-routed scenario and between the RCAF and the V-PCRF for the visited access scenario. NOTE: If not specified explicitly, the PCRF also means H-PCRF for the home-routed
27、scenario or V-PCRF in the visited access scenario in the specification. 2 References The following documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of the present document. - References are either specific (identified by date of publication, edition number, v

34、in 3GPP TR 21.905 1 and the following apply. A term defined in the present document takes precedence over the definition of the same term, if any, in 3GPP TR 21.905 1. Home Routed Access: Roaming scenario where the PCEF is located in the HPLMN. In a Home Routed roaming scenario, the UE obtains acces
35、s to the packet data network from the HPLMN. RAN user plane congestion: RAN user plane congestion occurs when the demand for RAN resources exceeds the available RAN capacity to deliver the user data for a prolonged period of time. NOTE: Short-duration traffic bursts is a normal condition at any traf
36、fic load level, and is not considered to be RAN user plane congestion. Likewise, a high-level of utilization of RAN resources (based on operator configuration) is considered a normal mode of operation and might not be RAN user plane congestion. Visited Access (also known as local breakout): Roaming
37、scenario where the PCEF is located in the VPLMN. In a Visited Access Roaming scenario, the UE obtains access to the packet data network from the VPLMN. 3.2 Abbreviations For the purposes of the present document, the abbreviations given in 3GPP TR 21.905 1 and the following apply.

40、1 Overview The Np reference point is located between the RCAF and the PCRF for the non-roaming scenario, between the RCAF and the H-PCRF for the home-routed scenario and between the RCAF and the V-PCRF for the visited access scenario. The Np reference point is used for: - Reporting the RUCI from the
41、 RCAF to the PCRF; - Provisioning the Reporting Restriction from the PCRF to the RCAF; - The User Equipment (UE) mobility between RCAFs; - The removal of the UE context in the RCAF. ETSI ETSI TS 129 217 V13.6.0 (2017-01)83GPP TS 29.217 version 13.6.0 Release 13The stage 2 level requirements for the
42、Np reference point are defined in 3GPP TS 23.203 2. Signalling flows related to Np interface are specified in 3GPP TS 29.213 3. Refer to Annex G of 3GPP TS 29.213 3 for Diameter overload control procedures over the Np interface. Refer to Annex J of 3GPP TS 29.213 3 for Diameter message priority mech
43、anism procedures over the Np interface. 4.2 Np reference model The relationships between the involved functional entities are depicted in figure 4.2.1. The overall PCC architecture is depicted in clause 3a of 3GPP TS 29.213 3 . PCRFg3Npg3RCAFg3Figure 4.2.1: Np reference model NOTE: For the home-rout
44、ed access scenario, the RCAF interacts with the H-PCRF. For the visited access scenario, the RCAF interacts with the V-PCRF. Figure 4.2.2: Void Figure 4.2.3: Void 4.3 Functional elements 4.3.1 RCAF The RCAF is a functional element which reports RAN User Plane Congestion Information (RUCI) via the Np
45、 interface to the PCRF to enable the PCRF to take the RAN user plane congestion status into account for policy decisions. RUCI includes the following information: - The user id (e.g. IMSI) identifying the UE impacted by congestion; - PDN ID for which congestion information is reported; - Congestion
46、level information (either congestion level value or congestion level set id) of the UE impacted by congestion; - eNodeB identifier, ECGI or SAI identifying the eNodeB, E-UTRAN cell or Service Area respectively, serving the UE if a conditional restriction to restrict location reporting is not enabled
47、. NOTE 1: In case of E-UTRAN, whether the eNodeB identifier or the ECGI are included in the RUCI is up to operator configuration in the RCAF. The RCAF sends the RUCI to the PCRFs serving the UEs PDN connections as follows: - For a PDN connection in a non-roaming scenario the RCAF reports the RUCI to
48、 the PCRF; - For a PDN connection in a local breakout scenario, based on operator configuration, the RCAF reports the RUCI to the V-PCRF; - For a PDN connection in a home routed scenario, based on the roaming agreement with the HPLMN and operator configuration, the RCAF reports the RUCI to the H-PCR
49、F NOTE 2: Reporting of congestion information to the HPLMN may be used e.g. in case of a group of PLMNs which belong to a single business entity. ETSI ETSI TS 129 217 V13.6.0 (2017-01)93GPP TS 29.217 version 13.6.0 Release 13The RCAF determines whether a given PDN connection is served in a local breakout or a home routed roaming scenario based on the APN operator identifier received as part of the APN information from the MME or the SGSN as documented in 3GPP TS 23.401 8 and 3GPP TS 23.060 9, respectively.
