The present document provides the stage 3 specification of the PFD Management Service of 5G system.

The stage 2 definition and related procedures of the PFD Management Service are contained in 3GPP TS 23.502 [3] and 3GPP TS 23.503 [4]. The 5G System Architecture is defined in 3GPP TS 23.501 [2].

The Technical Realization of the Service Based Architecture and the Principles and Guidelines for Services Definition of the 5G System are specified in 3GPP TS 29.500 [5] and 3GPP TS 29.501 [6].

The Packet Flow Description Function (PFDF) provides the PFD Management Service to the NF consumers (i.e. Session Management Function). The PFDF is functionality within the NEF.
