1 Scope p. 9

The present document specifies the stage 3 protocol and data model for the Nmbsmf Service Based Interface. It provides stage 3 protocol definitions and message flows, and specifies the API for each service offered by the MB-SMF with the exception of the MB-SMF Event Exposure service.

The 5G System stage 2 architecture and procedures are specified in TS 23.501 and TS 23.502. The 5G Multicast-Broadcast Session Management Services for 5G System is specified in TS 23.247.

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.

4 Overview p. 11

4.1 Introduction p. 11

Within the 5GC, the MB-SMF offers services to the SMF, AMF, AF/AS, MBSF and NEF via the Nmbsmf service based interface (see TS 23.501, TS 23.502 and TS 23.247).

Figure 4.1-1 provides the reference model (in service based interface representation and in reference point representation), with focus on the MB-SMF and the scope of the present specification.

N11mb is the reference point between MB-SMF and AMF.

N16mb is the reference point between MB-SMF and SMF.

N29mb is the reference point between MB-SMF and NEF.

Nmb1 is the reference point between MB-SMF and MBSF.

Nmb13 is the reference point between MB-SMF and AF/AS.

The functionalities supported by the MB-SMF are listed in clause 5.3.2.2 of TS 23.247.
