I have a question regarding this. From 3gpp document, it was given that CBCF will use http/2 post request to AMF. Assuming we have all parameters mentioned above such as “message, message ID, number of broadcast, broadcast intervals”, are we just going to put into json and send through http/2 post request? or are we supposed to do some encoding?
