4.2.5  Data Storage architecturesp. 50

As depicted in Figure 4.2.5-1, the 5G System architecture allows any NF to create/read/update/delete its unstructured data in a UDSF (e.g. UE contexts). If such an NF is using UDSF is part of an NF set, then any of the NF instance within this NF set may read/update/delete the unstructured data that was created by this NF. The UDSF belongs to the same PLMN where the network function is located. CP NFs/NF Sets may share a UDSF for storing their respective unstructured data or may each have their own UDSF (e.g. a UDSF may be located close to the respective NF).
Reproduction of 3GPP TS 23.501, Fig. 4.2.5-1: Data Storage Architecture for unstructured data from any NF
Up
As depicted in Figure 4.2.5-2, the 5G System architecture allows the UDM, PCF and NEF to store data in the UDR, including subscription data and policy data by UDM and PCF, structured data for exposure and application data (including Packet Flow Descriptions (PFDs) for application detection, AF request information for multiple UEs) by the NEF. UDR can be deployed in each PLMN and it can serve different functions as follows:
  • UDR accessed by the NEF belongs to the same PLMN where the NEF is located.
  • UDR accessed by the UDM belongs to the same PLMN where the UDM is located if UDM supports a split architecture.
  • UDR accessed by the PCF belongs to the same PLMN where the PCF is located.

Up
The Nudr interface is defined for the network functions (i.e. NF Service Consumers), such as UDM, PCF and NEF, to access a particular set of the data stored and to read, update (including add, modify), delete, and subscribe to notification of relevant data changes in the UDR.
Each NF Service Consumer accessing the UDR, via Nudr, shall be able to add, modify, update or delete only the data it is authorised to change. This authorisation shall be performed by the UDR on a per data set and NF service consumer basis and potentially on a per UE, subscription granularity.
The following data in the UDR sets exposed via Nudr to the respective NF service consumer and stored shall be standardized:
  • Subscription Data,
  • Policy Data,
  • Structured Data for exposure,
  • Application data: Packet Flow Descriptions (PFDs) for application detection and AF request information for multiple UEs, as defined in clause 5.6.7.
The service based Nudr interface defines the content and format/encoding of the 3GPP defined information elements exposed by the data sets.
In addition, it shall be possible to access operator specific data sets by the NF Service Consumers from the UDR as well as operator specific data for each data set.
