scope:

The present document is part 13 of the Stage 3 specification for an Application Programming Interface (API) for Open Service Access (OSA).

The OSA specifications define an architecture that enables application developers to make use of network functionality through an open standardised interface, i.e. the OSA APIs. The concepts and the functional architecture for the OSA are contained in 3GPP TS 23.198 [3]. The requirements for OSA are contained in 3GPP TS 22.127 [2].

The present document specifies the Policy Management Service Capability Feature (SCF) aspects of the interface. All aspects of the Policy Management SCF are defined here, these being:

Sequence Diagrams

Class Diagrams

Interface specification plus detailed method descriptions

State Transition diagrams

Data Definitions

IDL Description of the interfaces

The process by which this task is accomplished is through the use of object modelling techniques described by the Unified Modelling Language (UML).

This specification has been defined jointly between 3GPP TSG CT WG5, ETSI TISPAN and the Parlay Consortium, in co-operation with a number of JAIN™ Community member companies.
