Abstract:
A Policy Control Function, PCF, for use in a 5G core network, is configured to allow a consumer to retrieve from the PCF subscriber session information and Application Detection and Control rules relating to a subscriber session. Specifically, the PCF is configured to: receive (303) a request from a Session Management Function, SMF, for session management policies applying to the subscriber session; retrieve (305) policy data from a Unified Data Repository, UDR; and, based on the retrieved policy data, generate said Application Detection and Control rules relating to the subscriber session, and send (307) said Application Detection and Control rules to the TDF, thereby allowing the TDF to act as the consumer.
