name: ACF
full_form: AoC Function
context: For scenarios where the ACF is interworking with the offline charging feature and the service obligatory type is AoCI estimating Cost and/or Tariff Information may be performed using any of the following methods: - Local determination using offline synchronization of tariff information - The ACF may synchronize out of band the tariff information from the charging domain. In this case, the ACFneeds to have an independent rating function. - Interactively via the CDF through Ro - ACF may obtain the tariff information interactively from the CDF. - Interactively via the OCS through Ro - Offline subscribers can be perceived as online subscribers with unlimited balance (or very high balance that practically implies that). This approach enables the ACF to have unified flow of messages for offline and online subscribers in providing AoC Information. For scenarios where the ACF is interworking with the offline charging feature and the service obligatory type is AoCC determining Cost and/or
description: The AoC Function (ACF) is a network component responsible for providing Advice of Charge (AoC) services, including estimating costs and tariff information. It interacts with other network functions such as the Charging Data Function (CDF) and Online Charging System (OCS) to obtain necessary information.
explanation: The ACF is classified as a Network Function based on its role in providing AoC services and interacting with other network components, as described in the context from 3GPP TS 32.280.
