3GPP 23.501 v20.2.0 — the document's own text
6.2.25 MFAF
Taught in 4. What each network function does (The 5G system architecture, in depth), 2. Who does what in the core (The 5G system architecture, overview).
The Messaging Framework Adaptor Function (MFAF) supports the following functionality:
- Interfacing with a DCCF that controls how a messaging framework will process, format and send data to consumers or notification endpoints.
- Receiving data from Data Sources via services offered by those Data Sources.
- Sending data received from Data Sources to a messaging framework (outside the scope of 3GPP).
- Receiving data from a messaging framework (outside the scope of 3GPP).
- Processing, formatting and sending data to specified consumers or notification endpoints.
NOTE: The internal logic of Messaging Framework is outside the scope of 3GPP, only MFAF and the interface between MFAF and other 3GPP defined NF is under 3GPP scope.
