摘要: Methods by which User Plane (UP) management information is exchanged between an Application Function (AF) supporting one or more applications and a Slice Management Function (SW) configured to manage traffic flows in a given slice of the network. The exchange of UP management information may be initiated from either the AF or the SW. In the case of AF-initiated information exchange, the UP management information provided by the AF may comprise traffic requirements of applications supported by the AF. In the case of SMF-initiated information exchange, the UP management information provided by the SM may comprise operator policy information or events, and the AF may respond with information of traffic requirements of applications supported by the AF.

摘要: The present invention provides systems and methods and apparatuses for enabling private communication between user equipments (UEs) in a (LAN) UE group. The UEs in the (LAN) UE group can communicate with each other using IP and/or non-IP type communication services. The communications between these UEs may take place in the form of point to point (e.g. UE to UE) communication or point to multi-point communication (e.g. UE to multiple UEs) as opposed to UE to Data Network (DN) communication.

摘要: A method for optimizing operation of a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communications network. The method, performed at a network function (NF), comprises: transmitting along the network at least one rule of at least one policy that governs how the UE exchanges packets along the network and that contains information conditioned on at least one information element, such that: if the information conditioned on the at least one information element is contained in the at least one rule and the UE does not satisfy the information contained in the at least one rule, the UE is precluded from exchanging packets in accordance with the at least one rule; if the information conditioned on the at least one information element is contained in the at least one rule and the UE satisfies the information contained in the at least one rule, the UE exchanges packets in accordance with any constraints contained in the at least one rule; and if there is no information in the at least one rule corresponding to the at least one information element, the UE exchanges packets in accordance with any constraints contained in the at least one rule.

摘要: An aspect of the disclosure provides for a method for user equipment (UE) internet protocol (IP) address management. The method includes sending by an application function (AF), a request to a policy control function (PCF), the request including information identifying traffic and an indication that a UE IP address associated with the traffic should be preserved. The method further includes sending by the PCF, to a session management function (SMF) being responsible for managing a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session associated with the traffic, a policy and charging control (PCC) rule including the indication. In some embodiments, the request is sent by the AF to the PCF via a network exposure function (NEF). In some embodiments, the method further includes managing, by the SMF, the UE IP address according to the PCC rule. In some embodiments, the managing includes preserving the UE IP address for a PDU session associated with the traffic. In some embodiments, the preserving includes preventing reselection of a protocol data unit (PDU) session anchor (PSA) to which the UE IP address is associated.

摘要: A method in a session management function (SMF) of a network. The method comprises: receiving a session request message from a user equipment (UE), the session request message comprising: an identifier of the UE; a UE-specific application identifier that uniquely identifies a particular application among a set of one or more applications implemented on the UE; and an application-specific packet filter set identifier that uniquely identifies a particular packet filter set among a group of one or more packet filter sets supported by the particular application. A protocol data unit (PDU) session is established based at least in part on the identifier of the UE, the UE-specific application identifier, and the application-specific packet filter set identifier.

摘要: A method in a network node comprises: detecting a Quality of Service (QoS) Violated Event in respect of a particular QoS flow of a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session; and sending a corresponding QoS violated event report to any one or more of: a Session Management Function (SMF) of the network; a Policy Control Function (PCF) of the network; an Application Function (AF) of the network; and a third party service provider.

摘要: Application Function (AF) influenced routing for peer-to-peer (P2P) communications is provided. Core network elements correlate PDU sessions and optimize the UP path for peer-to-peer traffic. UP selection, reselection, configuration or reconfiguration can be performed in support of P2P traffic routing. P2P traffic between a pair of UEs is routed or rerouted through a bridge. The bridge may be established between the first UP and the second UP, and/or between associated RAN nodes. One or more application functions can be included along the bridge path. A policy control function (PCF) directs underlying resources to route P2P traffic via the bridge, for example in response to a trigger from the AF. A session management function (SMF) directs underlying resources to configure or reconfigure user plane data paths to route P2P traffic via the bridge. First and second SMFs of the first and second UPs can cooperate to establish the desired traffic routing. One or more UPFs can be configured to support P2P traffic detection.

摘要: Systems and methods for performing User Plane (UP) path selection or reselection over a communications network with a 3rd party entity, and for notifying network entities of UP changes in a communications network, are disclosed. The method includes: receiving an application program interface based request for UP path selection from the 3rd party entity; performing a validation and authorization procedure with the request; transmitting a UP path selection configuration request to a Control Plane Function that maintains configuration data; obtaining a reference number confirming the UP path selection configuration request; and installing the UP path selection according to the reference number.

摘要: Methods for quality of service monitoring, policy enforcement, and charging in a communications network, are disclosed. The methods include mapping quality of service parameters to measured parameters of a real-time video or packet data unit flow. The mapping may be used to monitor bursty traffic to adhere to quality of service requirements, perform traffic shaping, and for use in reporting certain network events. The measured parameters of real-time packet data unit flow include a first bit rate measured over a short-term measurement window and a second bit rate measured over a long-term measurement window. The short-term and long-term measurement windows are differently sized.
