6.5 Access and mobility related policy information

23.5033GPPPolicy and charging control framework for the 5G System (5GS)Release 18Stage 2TS

To enable the enforcement in the 5GC system of the access and mobility policy decisions made by the PCF for the control as described in clause 6.1.2.1, the 5GC system may provide the Access and mobility related policy information from the PCF to the AMF.

Table 6.5-1 lists the AMF access and mobility related policy information.

The list of allowed TAIs indicates the TAIs where the UE is allowed to be registered, see clause 5.3.4 of TS 23.501 [2] for the description on how AMF uses this information.

The list of non-allowed TAIs indicates the TAIs where the UE is not allowed to be registered, see clause 5.3.4 of TS 23.501 [2] for the description on how AMF uses this information.

The Maximum number of allowed TAs indicates the maximum number of allowed Tracking Areas, the list of TAI is defined in the AMF and not explicitly provided by the PCF.

The RFSP Index for Allowed NSSAI and RFSP Index for Target NSSAI defines the RFSP Index for radio resource management functionality.

RFSP Index in Use Validity Time defines the time by which the RFSP Index in use will be used in MME after 5GS to EPS mobility as specified in clause 5.17.2.2 of TS 23.501 [2].

The UE-AMBR limits the aggregated bit rate across all Non-GBR QoS Flows of a UE in the serving network.
