Allocation of network resources based on antenna information and/or device type information

A device, comprising:

• one or more memories;
• and
• one or more processors communicatively coupled to the one or more memories, configured to:
• receive antenna information indicating that a user equipment (UE) has a single antenna for communicating with a network;
• receive device type information indicating that the UE is of a first UE type, of a plurality of UE types, associated with consuming an amount of uplink resources that is greater than an amount of downlink resources that is consumed;
• identify network policy information, relating to the UE, based on the antenna information and the device type information,
• the network policy information indicating one or more policy rules associated with allocating network resources, and
• the one or more policy rules including a rule that provides for reducing the amount of downlink resources without restricting the amount of uplink resources;
• determine a quantity of network resources to allocate based on the one or more policy rules;
• and
• allocate the quantity of network resources for connection of the UE to the network.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, the instructions comprising:

• one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a device, cause the one or more processors to:
• receive antenna information indicating that a user equipment (UE) has a single antenna for communicating with a network;
• receive device type information indicating that the UE is of a first UE type, of a plurality of UE types, associated with consuming an amount of uplink resources that is greater than an amount of downlink resources that is consumed;
• obtain network policy information, relating to the UE, based on the antenna information and the device type information,
• the network policy information indicating one or more policy rules associated with allocating network resources, and the one or more policy rules including a rule that provides for reducing the amount of downlink resources without restricting the amount of uplink resources;
• determine a quantity of network resources to allocate based on the one or more policy rules;
• and
• allocate the quantity of network resources for connection of the UE to the network.
