    摘要: A session management function (SMF) receives a message from a network exposure function (NEF). The message comprises downlink data and a release assistance indicator (RAI). The RAI indicates that transmission of uplink data by a wireless device is expected subsequent to transmission of the downlink data. The RAI indicates a release of a connection associated with the wireless device after the transmission of uplink data. The SMF receives an indication that the uplink data is transmitted. The SMF upon receiving the indication, sends a release message to an access and mobility management function (AMF). The release message indicates release of a non-access stratum message associated with the wireless device. The release message comprises the release assistance indicator.

In response to the policy establishment request message, the PCF sends to a CHF a charging policy request message requesting charging policy information for the PDU session. The PCF receives from the CHF a charging policy response message. The charging policy response message comprises the charging policy information. The charging policy information comprises a first charging method. Based on the charging policy information, the PCF determines a charging control rule for the PDU session. The PCF sends to the SMF a policy establishment response message comprising the charging control rule. The SMF enforces the charging control rule.
