Feature Description

In the case of Embedded Subscriber Profile Repository (SPR), PCF supports subscriber authorization for Gx and N7. The PCF provides internal access to both SPR and the Unified API Endpoint. The SPR databases get configured in an existing administration database replica set or used as a separate MongoDB replica set.

PCF must review the subscriber session policies if any subscriber profile changes get notified in the SPR DB. If there is any post profile update in the subscriber policy, the PCF sends a Gx-RAR or N7 Notify message. When the PCF receives the notification, it locates the subscriber profile from the SPR DB, reviews the policy, and initiates an N7 Notify message to SMF if there is any policy change.
