Systems and methods for enabling optimized reporting related to policy control request triggers

A first network device, comprising:

• one or more memories:
• one or more processors configured to:
• receive, from a second network device, a first policy control create request;
• provide, to the second network device, a common policy control request trigger based on the first policy control create request;
• receive a second policy control create request associated with a user equipment (UE);
• cause a UE policy to be provided to the UE based on the second policy control create request;
• receive, from a third network device, a third policy control create request;
• provide a network device policy to the third network device based on the third policy control create request;
• receive, from the second network device, a policy control update request based on the common policy control request trigger;
• determine whether to update the UE policy or the network device policy based on receiving the policy control update request;
• generate an updated UE policy and an updated network device policy based on determining whether to update the UE policy or the network device policy;
• cause the updated UE policy to be provided to the UE;
• and
• provide the updated network device policy to the third network device.

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

• one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a first network device, cause the first network device to:
• receive, from a second network device, a first policy control create request;
• provide, to the second network device, a common policy control request trigger based on the first policy control create request;
• receive a second policy control create request associated with a user equipment (UE);
• cause a UE policy to be provided to the UE based on the second policy control create request;
• receive, from a third network device, a third policy control create request;
• provide a network device policy to the third network device based on the third policy control create request;
• receive, from the second network device, a policy control update request based on the common policy control request trigger;
• determine whether to update the UE policy, the network device policy, or a policy associated with the second network device, based on receiving the policy control update request;
• and
• generate an updated UE policy, an updated network device policy, or an updated policy associated with the second network device, based on determining whether to update the UE policy, the network device policy, or the policy associated with the second network device.
