System and method for processing enhanced route selection descriptors

A method comprising:

• storing, in a memory, a User Equipment Route Selection Policy (URSP) that includes a rule, wherein the rule includes route selection descriptors (RSDs), and wherein each of the RSDs include RSD parameters;
• receiving a request from a component, in the device, to establish a session with a network, wherein the request includes request parameters;
• and
• processing each RSD of the RSDs, wherein processing each RSD includes:
• determining if the RSD parameters of the RSD include a Technology selector parameter;
• when the RSD parameters do not include the Technology selector parameter, applying the RSD to establish the session or to identify the session;
• and
• when the RSD parameters include the Technology selector parameter,
• comparing a first technology associated with the session to a second technology specified by the Technology selector;
• when the first technology matches the second technology, applying the RSD either to establish the session or to identify the session;
• and
• when the first technology does not match the second technology, not applying the RSD.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising processor-executable instruction, wherein when executed by a processor, the processor-executable instructions cause the processor to:

• store, in a memory, a User Equipment Route Selection Policy (URSP) that includes a rule, wherein the rule includes route selection descriptors (RSDs), and wherein each of the RSDs include RSD parameters;
• receive a request from a component, in the device, to establish a session with a network, wherein the request includes request parameters;
• and
• process each RSD of the RSDs, wherein when the processor processes each RSD, the processor is configured to:
• determine if the RSD parameters of the RSD include a Technology selector parameter;
• when the RSD parameters do not include the Technology selector parameter, apply the RSD to establish the session or to identify the session;
• when the RSD parameters include the Technology selector parameter,
• compare a first technology associated with the session to a second technology specified by the Technology selector;
• when the first technology matches the second technology, apply the RSD either to establish the session or to identify the session;
• and
• when the first technology does not match the second technology, do not apply the RSD.
