5.5 Procedures for reporting to the Data Collection AF p. 27

As specified in clause 6.2.8.2.1 of TS 23.288, both the direct reporting procedure and indirect reporting procedure are required to be supported. The indirect reporting procedure may be used when a Direct Data Collection Client is not available in the UE or when the Indirect Data Collection Client needs to modify the collected UE data to satisfy the requirements of its data collection and reporting configuration.

The different data collection clients proceed as follows:

Step 13.

If present in the instantiation, the UE Application reports data to the Direct Data Collection Client according to the configuration provided in step 10 for inclusion in a data report. The UE application may instruct the Direct Data Collection Client to prioritise immediate delivery of a UE data report to the Data Collection AF.

Step 14.

The Direct Data Collection Client may submit a data report to the Data Collection AF via reference point R2 by invoking the Ndcaf_DataReporting service defined in the present document and specified in TS 26.532. The Direct Data Collection Client may indicate that the data report includes UE data requiring expedited processing by the Data Collection AF.

Step 15.

The UE Application may send application-specific data reporting to the Application Service Provider...

Step 16.

...and the Indirect Data Collection Client may, as a result, submit a data report to the Data Collection AF by invoking the Ndcaf_DataReporting service defined in the present document and specified in TS 26.532.

Step 17.

The AS may submit a data report to the Data Collection AF by invoking the Ndcaf_DataReporting service defined in the present document and specified in TS 26.532.

5.6 Procedures for Data Collection AF data exposure p. 28

In response to receiving a data report:

Step 18.

The Data Reporting AF processes the data report.

Reception of a data report by the Data Collection AF may result in an event being exposed to subscribed event consumers:

Step 19.

The Data Collection AF may expose an event to the NWDAF by invoking the Naf_EventExposure_Notify service operation on the latter, as defined in clause 5.2.19.2.4 of TS 23.502.

Step 20.

The Data Collection AF may expose an event to the Event Consumer AF by invoking the Naf_EventExposure_Notify service operation on the latter, as defined in clause 5.2.19.2.4 of TS 23.502.
