Content for TS 29.514 Word version: 18.6.0
1 Scope p. 11
The present specification provides the stage 3 definition of the Policy Authorization Service of the 5G System.
The 5G System Architecture is defined in TS 23.501. The stage 2 definition and related procedures for the Npcf Policy Authorization Service are specified in TS 23.502 and TS 23.503.
The 5G System stage 3 call flows are provided in TS 29.513.
The Technical Realization of the Service Based Architecture and the Principles and Guidelines for Services Definition are specified in TS 29.500 and TS 29.501.
The Policy Authorization Service is provided by the Policy Control Function (PCF). This service creates policies as requested by the authorised AF for the PDU Session to which the AF session is bound.

3 Definitions and abbreviations p. 13
3.1 Definitions p. 13
For the purposes of the present document, the terms and definitions given in TR 21.905 and the following apply. A term defined in the present document takes precedence over the definition of the same term, if any, in TR 21.905.
Application Function (AF):
Element offering application(s) that use PDU session resources.
AF Application identifier:
An identifier that refers to the particular service the NF service consumer session belongs to. In the context of application detection control, it refers to the application identifier used by the PCF in the PCC rule as specified in TS 29.512.
AF application session context:
Application level session context established by an application level signalling protocol offered by the AF that requires a session context set-up with explicit session context description before the use of the service.
MCS session:
A session for which priority treatment is applied for allocating and maintaining radio and network resources to support the Mission Critical Service (MCS). MCS is defined in TS 22.179, TS 22.280, TS 22.281, and TS 22.282.
MPS session:
A session for which priority treatment is applied for allocating and maintaining radio and network resources to support the Multimedia Priority Service (MPS). MPS is defined in TS 22.153.
PCC rule:
Set of information enabling the detection of a service data flow and providing parameters for policy control and/or charging control.
Service information:
Set of information conveyed from the AF/NEF to the PCF by the Npcf_PolicyAuthorization service to be used as a basis for PCC decisions at the PCF, including information about the AF/NEF application session context (e.g. application identifier, type of media, bandwidth, IP address and port number).
Service data flow:
An aggregate set of packet flows.
