Abstract
The technology described herein relates to N7 call flow in a standalone architecture. In embodiments, a computing system may comprise a Session Management Function (SMF) for management of a network session of a network, a first Policy Control Function (PCF) for policy management of network resources of the network, and a second PCF for policy management of the network resources of the network. The SMF can receive information from the first PCF and the second PCF via a first interface. In embodiments, an existing Packet Data Unit (PDU) session between a user device and the computing system is identified. The first PCF can determine, based on received indications, to transmit policy update information to the SMF. Based on a failure to transmit the policy update information to the SMF, the first PCF can transmit the policy update information to the second PCF for transmission to the SMF.
