Binding Support Function BSF
The SVI_BSF harmonises 5G network functions, matching session data to a specific PCF in a multi-PCF network for the duration of a subscriber’s registered session. Enhance Quality of Service (QoS) configuration to enhance traffic prioritisation and reduce session delay, packet drops, and network downtime.
Ensure voice over new radio (VoNR) 5G calls utilise the same PCF used when creating an N7 session in the 5G core. Support 5G core network capabilities for third parties using network exposure functions (NEF). Utilise reporting and monitoring through network data analytics functions (NWDAF) to modify the interactions of network functions (NF) with the 5G core.
Data session location, altering and binding
The BSF enables you to easily track, update and bind data sessions with shared information elements anywhere on a network.
Thanks to the forwards and backwards compatibility of Squire Technologies’ SIGLA platform, the SVI_BSF module can co-exist with a 4G Diameter Routing Agent (DRA) or Diameter Edge Agent (DEA) module to provide binding support for both 4G and 5G networks at the same time.
Deploy in any environment. The SVI_BSF can run on commercial off-the-shelf hardware, in a virtual machine environment on data servers, or fully virtualised in the cloud as a Virtual Network Function (VNF) in AWS, Azure, OpenStack, Nokia, Oracle Cloud and Google Cloud infrastructures.
