Network Data Analytics Function
Source::
NWDAF is a 3GPP standard method used to collect data from User Equipment, network functions, and operations, administration, and maintenance (OAM) systems, etc. from the 5G Core Network, Cloud, and Edge networks that can be used for analytics. 1
NWDAF is network-aware and can interface with various control and data plane network functions to collect events that are of interest for analysis. As Network Slicing becomes standard, NWDAF monitors all aspects of each network slice for compliance with relevant service-level agreements (SLAs). 2
