1 Scope p. 7
The present document specifies the Converged Charging description for network slice-specific authentication and authorization charging in the 5G System (5GS) based on Network Slice-Specific Authentication and Authorization Function (NSSAAF) of 5GS architecture and procedures specified in TS 23.501 and TS 23.502.
The scope is the Network Slice-Specific Authentication and Authorization as specified in TS 23.502 with a AAA Server (AAA-S).

4 Architecture considerations p. 9
4.1 High-level 5G System architecture p. 9
4.1.1 Non-roaming reference architecture p. 9
Figure 4.1.1-1 shows the Non-roaming 5G System high level architecture in the service-based representation, as defined in TS 23.501, with Network Slice-Specific Authentication and Authorization (NSSAAF):
4.2 Network Slice-Specific Authentication and Authorization converged charging architecture p. 10
4.2.1 Non-roaming p. 10
Architectural options for Network Slice-Specific Authentication and Authorization converged charging in service-based representation are depicted in Figure 4.2.1-1.

Architectural options of Figure 4.2.1-1 apply to any Network Slice-Specific Authentication and Authorization converged charging architecture of this clause.
AMF is part of this architecture for the purpose of Network Slice-Specific Authentication and Authorization converged charging. For AMF 5G connection and mobility converged charging see TS 32.256.
Details on the interfaces and functions can be found in TS 32.240 for the general architecture components, Ga is described in clause W and Bnssaa in clause Z of this document, and Nchf is described in TS 32.290.
Figure 4.2.1-2 shows the Network Slice-Specific Authentication and Authorization converged charging architecture in reference point representation for non-roaming:
