The PCF is a new NF introduced in 5G and works similarly to the PCRF on a 4G network. Now with enhanced capabilities, it can uniformly control policies across 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G networks. The cloud-based PCF can be used together with the existing ATCA-based PCRF, facilitating smooth transformation of networks.

Policy data can be smoothly migrated to, and service configurations are centrally managed by the PCF.

Subscribers can be migrated from 4G to 5G networks first. Then, we can gradually upgrade 4G sites to 5G to achieve full 5G coverage.

The provisioning system can be connected to the PCF, so that the PCF can uniformly deliver service provisioning instructions.

The EMS can be selected based on terminal capabilities. 4G and 5G signaling messages can be processed based on terminal capabilities and network coverage.
