The UCMF is used for storage of dictionary entries corresponding to either PLMN-assigned or Manufacturer-assigned UE Radio Capability IDs.

Provisioning of Manufacturer-assigned UE Radio Capability ID entries in the UCMF is performed from an AF that interacts with the UCMF either directly or via the NEF.

Knowing the UE radio capabilities is critical for the 5G system to provide the appropriate control for the UE, missing the UE radio capabilities may cause discretional control for the UEs thus result in failures or performance degradation. Therefore, the performance measurements are needed to assess the performance of UCMF provisioning.
