Section: 4.18.3.2 Management of PFDs in the SMF
Content: This procedure enables the provisioning, modification or removal of PFDs associated with an application identifier in the SMF. Either the complete list of all PFDs of all application identifiers, the complete list of all PFDs of one or more application identifiers or a subset of PFDs for individual application identifiers may be managed. Each PFD of an application identifier is associated with a PFD id if a subset of the PFD(s) associated with an application identifier can be provisioned, updated or removed. If always the full set of PFD(s) for an application identifier is managed in each transaction, PFD ids do not need to be provided. Figure 4.18.3.2-1 Management of PFDs in the SMF 1. As pre-requisite condition to receiving push notifications, the SMF subscribes to PFD notifications from the NEF (PFDF) by sending Nnef_PFDManagement_Subscribe message. 2. The NEF (PFDF) invokes Nnef_PFD_Management_Notify (Application Identifier, PFDs, PFDs operation) to the SMF(s) to which the PFD(s) shall be provided. The NEF (PFDF) may decide to delay the distribution of PFDs to the SMF(s) for some time to optimize the signalling load. If the NEF (PFDF) received an Allowed Delay for a PFD, the NEF (PFDF) shall distribute this PFD within the indicated time interval.
