Abstract
The disclosure relates to a method and a device for controlling a data rate in a network slice of a wireless communication system. A method for controlling a bit rate of a network slice by a session management function (SMF) device of a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes receiving a slice control policy information from a policy and charging function (PCF) device, transmitting, to a user plane function (UPF) device, a parameter for controlling each slice based on the received slice control information, and receiving, from the UPF device, a response signal for whether the transmitted parameter is acceptable.
Claims10
A method for controlling a bit rate of a network slice by a first network function (NF) of a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- obtaining, an allowed maximum data rate for a network slice;
- identifying whether a data rate associated with the network slice exceeds the allowed maximum data rate for the network slice;
- and
- transmitting, to a second NF, a response based on the identification,
- wherein the allowed maximum data rate comprises a maximum bit rate for a non-guaranteed bit rate (GBR) flow for the network slice, and a maximum bit rate for a GBR flow for the network slice.
A first network function (NF) for controlling a bit rate of a network slice in a wireless communication system, the first NF comprising:
- a network interface for communicating with at least one of network functions of the wireless communication system;
- a memory configured to store information for bit rate control of the network slice;
- and
- at least one processor configured to:
- obtain, an allowed maximum data rate for a network slice;
- identify whether a data rate associated with the network slice exceeds the allowed maximum data rate for the network slice;
- and
- transmit, to a second NF, a response based on the identification,
- wherein the allowed maximum data rate comprises a maximum bit rate for a non-guaranteed bit rate (GBR) flow for the network slice, and a maximum bit rate for a GBR flow for the network slice.
