The present document specifies the stage 3 protocol and data model for the Npanf Service Based Interface. It provides stage 3 protocol definitions and message flows, and specifies the API for each service offered by the 5G PAnF.
The 5G System stage 2 architecture and procedures are specified in
TS 23.501 and
TS 23.502.
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 following documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of the present document.
-
References are either specific (identified by date of publication, edition number, version number, etc.) or non specific.
-
For a specific reference, subsequent revisions do not apply.
-
For a non-specific reference, the latest version applies. In the case of a reference to a 3GPP document (including a GSM document), a non-specific reference implicitly refers to the latest version of that document in the same Release as the present document.

PAnF
Prose Anchor Function
The Prose Anchor Function (PAnF) is the network entity in the 5G Core Network (5GC) supporting security procedure over Control Plane for the 5G ProSe UE-to-Network relay and 5G ProSe UE-to-UE Relay as specified in
TS 33.503. Within the 5GC, the PAnF offers services to the AUSF and SMF via the Npanf service based interface.
Figure 4-1 provides the reference model (in service based interface representation and in reference point representation), with focus on the PAnF:
The PAnF supports the following functionalities:
-
Storage and retrieval of ProSe context information of the 5G ProSe Remote UE and ProSe context information of the 5G ProSe End UE;
-
Checking whether the 5G ProSe Remote UE is authorized to use the UE-to-Network Relay service and whether the End UE is authorized to use the UE-to-UE Relay service.
-
Resolving the ProSe Remote User ID to SUPI.
