Abstract
Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for configuring route selection policies. A user device may send, to a computing device, a route selection policy request to update route selection policy rules for applications and/or services of the user device. The computing device may determine the route selection policy rules for the applications and/or services based on various criteria. The computing device may send the determined route selection policy rules to the user device. If the user device does not accept the determined route selection policy rules, the user device may send, to the computing device, a negotiation request to obtain other route selection policy rules for the applications and/or services.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a computing device, from a user device, and via a network, a route selection policy request, wherein the route selection policy request indicates a service;
- receiving, from a second computing device, a message indicating one or more types of traffic associated with the service;
- determining, based on the one or more types of traffic, a route selection policy associated with the service, wherein the route selection policy indicates one or more of a protocol data unit session for the service or a network slice for the service;
- and
- sending, to the user device, the route selection policy.
An apparatus comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- non-transitory memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to:
- receive, from a user device and via a network, a route selection policy request, wherein the route selection policy request indicates a service;
- receive, from a computing device, a message indicating one or more types of traffic associated with the service;
- determine, based on the one or more types of traffic, a route selection policy associated with the service, wherein the route selection policy indicates one or more of a protocol data unit session for the service or a network slice for the service;
- and
- send, to the user device, the route selection policy.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to:
- receive, from a user device and via a network, a route selection policy request, wherein the route selection policy request indicates a service;
- receive, from a second computing device, a message indicating one or more types of traffic associated with the service;
- determine, based on the one or more types of traffic, a route selection policy associated with the service, wherein the route selection policy indicates one or more of a protocol data unit session for the service or a network slice for the service;
- and
- send, to the user device, the route selection policy.
