5G Core Network:
The core network specified in the present document. It connects to a 5G Access Network.
NF service:
a functionality exposed by a NF through a service based interface and consumed by other authorized NFs.
NF service operation:
An elementary unit a NF service is composed of.
service based interface:
It represents how a set of services is provided/exposed by a given NF.
charging session:
The association between the CHF (NF Service Producer) that provides the charging service and NF service consumer.

4 Architecture reference model p. 8
4.1 General p. 8
The present document describes the service based architecture for 5G Charging.
4.2 Reference architecture p. 8
The NFs with CTF interact with CHF using Nchf interface for converged charging or offline only charging. The PCF interacts with CHF using Nchf interface for Spending Limit Control. One NF with CTF can be connected to one or two CHFs for the same chargeable event. Two CHFs can interact using Nchf interface for converged charging. The Nchf is a service based interface for NF and CHF.
Figure 4.2.1 depicts the reference architecture for the Nchf Interface.
