4.2.2.2 Direct Connectivity between AIOTF and NG-RAN

In the Direct Connectivity architecture, the AIOTF uses AIOT2 to communicate directly with NG-RAN.

Figure 4.2.2.2-1 depicts the AIoT architecture, using the service-based interfaces, showing only the parts of the AIoT architecture for an AIOTF connecting to NG-RAN directly. The remaining parts of the AIoT architecture shown in Figure 4.2.2.1-1 remain unchanged.

Figure 4.2.2.2-2 depicts the AIoT architecture, using the reference point representation, showing only the parts of the AIoT architecture for an AIOTF access NG-RAN. The remaining parts of the AIoT architecture shown in Figure 4.2.2.1-2 remain unchanged.
