This is the case for NEF services related to Non-IP Data Delivery (NIDD), i.e. NIDD Nnef_SMContext, Nnef_NIDD and Nnef_NIDDConfiguration.<\/li>\n<li>Some NEF services also indirectly relate to slicing information because they relate to application(s) and an application can be identified by a (S-NSSAI, DNN) combination in 5G (although other means are also possible) This is the case for Nnef_ServiceParameter, Nnef_TrafficInfluence and Nnef_ServiceParameter;<\/li>\n<li>NEF_Parameter_Provision allows an AF to configure parameters in the UDM for a (S-NSSAI, DNN) combination for managing 5G VN groups;<\/li>\n<li>Some NEF services relate to slicing e.g. Nnef_AnalyticsExposure because it\u2019s possible for an AF to obtain network analytics information related to a specific slice type, i.e. a filter is possible in the subscription request sent to the NEF. For event exposure and analytics exposure, when the filter on S-NSSAI is not possible, the deployment of a NEF dedicated to a slice allows the AF to obtain notifications of the events in the slice, which is applicablewhen a slice is dedicated to an NPN (Non-Public Network), i.e. PNI-NPN.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><em>NEF deployment and slicing impacts :<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>3GPP specifications make no assumption on NEF deployment in the PLMN and the operator can deploy the NEF per type of NEF service and\/or per slice type.<\/li>\n<li>NEF centralization allows saving OPEX\/CAPEX with a limited number of NEF(s) in the PLMN and also saving signalling for subscriptions at the NEF and from the NEF towards the other NFs in the PLMN.<\/li>\n<li>NEF distribution avoids tromboning effects in the control plane for services such as edge computing or URLLC services where AFs are supposed to be distributed: NEF may be deployed close to AFs.<\/li>\n<li>NEF distribution is also a solution to provide event exposure and network analytics exposure to an AF on a dedicated slice when the subscription to such events per slice type is not possible in the standard.<\/li>\n<li>Implementing one or a few centralized NEF(s) and more distributed NEFs in the PLMN is the most realistic situation to manage the above cases.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Network Exposure Function (NEF) in 5G inherits from the SCEF (Service Capability Exposure Function) in 4G and encompasses many functionnalities among which : exposure at NFs, in particular AFs, of capabilities or events occurring at other NFs; exposure at NFs, in particular AFs, of capabilities or events occurring at other NFs; provisioning of information [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":14983,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-14981","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-5g-knowledge"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.3 (Yoast SEO v22.3) -
