Legend:

  • N2 SM information: This is the subset of NG-AP information that the AMF transparently relays between the 5G-AN and the SMF and is included in the NG-AP messages and the N11 related messages.

NOTE 1: From the 5G-AN perspective, there is a single termination of N2 i.e. the AMF.

NOTE 2: For the protocol stack between the AMF and the SMF, see clause 8.2.3.
