Abstract:
A method is provided in one example embodiment and includes sending, by a first entity associated with an access network, a first request message including a session identifier associated with a user session to a second entity associated with a core network. The method further includes establishing a first control channel with the second entity in which the first control channel is associated with the session identifier. The first control channel is an in-band channel between the first entity and the second entity. The method further includes receiving policy information associated with the user session from the second entity using the first control channel. The policy information is indicative of one or more policies to be applied in the access network to user data associated with the user session.
