SMPolicy Data Model
The UDRs in the PCF.SMPolicy data model store information about different rules regarding the session management in 5G networks.
The main objects of PCF.SMPolicy are:
Object | Description |
---|---|
RulesMapping | A flexible mapping table used to map from an external representation to a list of rules. The mapping should not include any information related to a specific subscriber. |
Target | The different rules used by the mapping object, see the sections |
PCCRule | Rules contains the rule settings regarding session management that should be applied for the subscribers. |
SessionRule | A session rule consists of policy information elements associated with PDU session. A session rule is dynamically provisioned by the PCF to the SMF (i.e., there are only dynamic session rules). |

Overview of the SMPolicy Data Model
The different UDRs within the SMPolicy data model are connected as follows:

| The arguments of a mapping object, for example the product. The arguments are stated with regular expressions, which means that entering "Products [2-5]" will match Products 2, 3, 4, or 5. |
| A list of A rule is a set of policy information elements associated with a PDU session, or with service data flows (i.e., with a PCC rule). Two types of rules are defined:
Both Session rules and PCC rules are composed of embedded information elements as well as information elements that are part of the referenced objects, for example condition data, or usage monitoring policy data. |
