In the first report ‘5G Shared Data Environment (SDE) - Critical enabler for 5G Service Based Architecture’ we identified 5G requirements for SDE. Here in this second report also sponsored by HPE and Intel, we identify the design requirements for the new 5G 3GPP Unstructured Data Storage Function (UDSF).
UDSF is critical for 5G ‘Cloud Native’ operations in a Service Based Architecture (SBA) where every traditional network function or NF is accessible ‘as a service’ via the Service Based Interface (SBI) and state data is externalized to a real time data store.
In the near term as 5G rolls out incrementally, the 4G Unified Data Repository (UDR) and 5G UDSF must work together to support end user services seamlessly without compromising 5G performance or design.
