Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide the ability to use policy defined by the operator to control the interfaces on which data is sent and received by a device. The policy can be dynamically updated by the operator, by pushing new policy to the device for implementation. The policy can define that the device should switch certain data between two or more available interfaces at certain times, or may define when certain data may be sent or received over a particular interface. Advantageously, the device may receive new policy from the operator in order to help with the operator's own operational objectives. For example, the operator may be engaging in traffic shaping or other traffic limitation, for example to ease congestion or enforce service agreements. To support this a policy which implements corresponding traffic limitation or shaping on the air interface between the mobile device and network base stations can be sent to the mobile device. This will have the effect of reducing signaling congestion on the air-interface.

Abstract translation: 本发明的实施例提供了使用由操作者定义的策略来控制由设备发送和接收数据的接口的能力。 策略可由运营商动态更新，方法是将新策略推送到设备进行实施。 该策略可以定义设备应该在特定时间在两个或多个可用接口之间切换某些数据，或者可以定义何时可以通过特定接口发送或接收某些数据。 有利地，设备可以从操作者接收新的策略，以帮助操作者自己的操作目标。 例如，运营商可能正在从事流量整形或其他流量限制，例如以缓解拥塞或执行服务协议。 为了支持这一点，可以在移动设备和网络基站之间的空中接口上实现相应的流量限制或整形的策略被发送到移动设备。 这将具有减少空中接口信令拥塞的效果。
