AMF Configuration Updates Call Flow Description

Step

Description

1

The configuration for the relative AMF capacity is detected and modified.

2

The modified AMF configuration updates are triggered toward all the available gNBs, such as gNB1, gNB2, and so on.

3

The AMF waits and consolidates responses from gNBs.

4

Calculates overall wait time as the Maximum of all incoming TimeToWait and starts retransmissions. Retransmission is done toward those gNBs, which have responded with the TimeToWait IE.

Note

Retransmission is done only once.

Note

The following are important feature-related references:

  • The AMF does not update any capacity changes toward the NRF, as part of this feature.

  • If there is a protocol pod restart, the ongoing AMF configuration updates procedure will be aborted, and not resumed.
