NWDAF integration with free5gc

Q/A
#1

Hi Team,

I would like to know procedures for integrating any 3rd party NWDAF or own developed (as per 3GPP release 16/17) NWDAF with free5gc.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Sundhar,

You can check whether there is any 3rd party NWDAF on github.
If you want to develop your own NWDAF, you can check the procedures in 3GPP TS23.288.
I consider the first step is to install free5GC and implement some simple functions in NWDAF to let it can communicate with other NF like NEF.

Hi @SymbolWu

Thanks for your reply. If I’m taking any 3rd party NWDAF from github then how the NWDAF will communicate with free5gc NF such AMF, SMF etc., ? Through any API?

Hi @Sundhar,

You can check the configs of these NFs in free5GC.
In free5GC, SBI use http2 as the protocol to communicate with each NFs.
There are the default address settings of every NFs (like AMF is 127.0.0.18:8000) , so you can try to use Postman to test APIs in each NF.
