    Abstract: Method for reducing interface traffic and memory of a session management function (SMF) establishes an exchange of preservation between the SMF and a policy control function (PCF) via an interface for a first session by a first subscriber in a wireless network. The method also includes receiving, by the SMF from the PCF, the preservation including definitions of common data and a preserve indication for the definitions of the common data. The definitions of the common data are used for a plurality of sessions following the first session by a plurality of subscribers. The method also includes storing, by the SMF, the definitions of common data; establishing an exchange of preservation between the SMF and the PCF for one of the plurality of sessions by a second subscriber; and receiving, by the SMF, references to the common data without the definitions of the common data.
