name: DPF
full_form: Downloading and Provisioning Function
context: This is a function for managing the downloading and provisioning of the MCIM applications and credentials to the M2ME. In order to perform the secure provisioning of the MCIM applications and their parameters to the M2ME, the DPF needs to support the following functions: - Receive some information (e.g. address) from SHO or RO (ICF) in order to access the M2ME, or alternatively rely on OMA-DM bootstrapping for inducing the M2ME to connect to the DPF - Receive authorisation from the SHO or RO (ICF) to provision the M2ME. This could include a security token for communicating with the M2ME. - Receive from the SHO the MCIM application and credentials package to be downloaded. Alternatively the DPF could generate this from stored rules and advise the SHO of the credentials that have been downloaded to the M2ME. - Provision the MCIM application and credentials to the M2ME. - Update previously downloaded MCIM applications or credentials and provisioning new applications as needed. - Notify
description: The Downloading and Provisioning Function (DPF) is a network function responsible for managing the downloading and provisioning of Machine Communication Intelligent Management (MCIM) applications and credentials to the M2ME (Machine-Type Communications over Mobile Networks Enabler). It handles secure provisioning, authorization, and updating of MCIM applications and parameters.
explanation: The DPF is classified as a Network Function based on its role in managing the downloading and provisioning process within the network, as highlighted by the context from 3GPP TS 33.812.
