Abstract:
A Policy Control Function (PCF) apparatus (34) receives information from a Network Exposure Function (NEF) apparatus (35) or an Application Function (AF) apparatus (41) and modifies based on the information a policy including an Index to RAT/Frequency Selection Priority (RFSP index). This can, for example, contribute to enabling a radio communication network to provide a User Equipment (UE) with a user plane path containing a radio connection in a specific cell based on a request from an AF.
