This clause specifies the definition network function specific for W-AGF and the delta to network function defined in TS 23.501.
5.1 Network Function Functional description p. 33
5.1.1 W-AGF p. 33
The functionality of W-AGF in the case of Wireline 5G Access network includes the following:
- Termination of N2 and N3 interfaces to 5G Core Network for control - plane and user-plane respectively.
- Handling of N2 signalling from SMF (relayed by AMF) related to PDU Sessions and QoS.
-
Relaying uplink and downlink user-plane packets between the 5G-RG and UPF and between FN-RG and UPF. This involves:
- Enforcing QoS corresponding to N3 packet marking, taking into account QoS requirements associated to such marking received over N2.
- N3 user-plane packet marking in the uplink.
- Supporting AMF discovery and selection defined in clause 6.3.5 of TS 23.501 where the 5G-S-TMSI is not used for AMF selection since the wireline AS layer can only carry the GUAMI.
- Termination of wireline access protocol on Y4 and Y5.
- In the case of FN-RG the W-AGF acts as end point of N1 on behalf of the FN-RG.
