Abstract
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for communicating, by a user equipment (UE), over multiple slices. A method that may be performed by the UE includes transmitting, from an operating system (OS) to a modem, an indication of a start network request originating from an application, the transmitting of the indication based on a determination that a traffic descriptor associated with the application is a non-default descriptor. The method may also include determining one or more parameters for establishing a new network connection for the application, the one or more parameters determined based on a routing policy that provides mapping between the traffic descriptor and the one or more parameters.
Claims17
A method for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- receiving, from a modem, an application descriptor list comprising one or more traffic descriptors that are non-default descriptors, the one or more traffic descriptors comprising an application identifier associated with an application, wherein any traffic descriptor not on the application descriptor list is a default descriptor;
- transmitting, from an operating system (OS) to the modem, an indication of a start network request originating from the application, the transmitting of the indication based on a determination that a traffic descriptor associated with the application is a non-default descriptor;
- determining one or more parameters for establishing a new network connection for the application, the one or more parameters determined based on a routing policy that provides mapping between the traffic descriptor and the one or more parameters;
- and
- transmitting, to the application, an indication that the new network connection has been established based on the one or more parameters.
A method for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- determining whether a traffic descriptor exists in a database maintained by an operating system (OS), wherein the traffic descriptor is indicative of one or more of a service requested for a network connection originating from an application and a network slice associated with the network connection;
- transmitting, from the OS to a modem, an indication of a request to establish the network connection, wherein:
- if the traffic descriptor exists in the database, the request comprises one or more of a data network name (DNN) or an access point name (APN) associated with the traffic descriptor in the database;
- and
- if the traffic descriptor does not exist in the database, the request comprises the traffic descriptor provided by the application;
- and
- transmitting, to the application, an indication that the network connection is established.
A user equipment (UE), comprising:
- a memory;
- a modem;
- and
- a processor coupled to the memory and the modem, the memory and the processor being configured to:
- receive, from the modem, an application descriptor list comprising one or more traffic descriptors that are non-default descriptors, the one or more traffic descriptors comprising an application identifier associated with an application, wherein any traffic descriptor not on the application descriptor list is a default descriptor;
- transmit, from an operating system (OS) executing on the processor to the modem, an indication of a start network request originating from the application executing on the OS, the indication being transmitted based on a determination that a traffic descriptor associated with the application is a non-default descriptor;
- determine one or more parameters for establishing a new network connection for the application, the one or more parameters determined based on a routing policy that provides mapping between the traffic descriptor and the one or more parameters;
- and
- transmit, to the application, an indication that the new network connection has been established based on the one or more parameters.
