Abstract
A method of generating an uplink classifier (UL CL) via a session management function (SMF) includes: requesting a network data connection and analysis function (NWDAF) to provide data related to the UL CL for controlling a flow of network traffic; receiving the data related to the UL CL from the NWDAF; selecting at least one of a plurality of user plane functions (UPFs) based on the received data related to the UL CL; and creating the UL CL in the selected at least one UPF.
Claims11
A method, performed by an entity associated with a session management function (SMF) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- receiving, from an entity associated with a network data analytics function (NWDAF), analysis information;
- and
- selecting, based on processing a duration time, a periodic time, a start time, and a traffic volume of a user equipment (UE) communication, and analytics for a user plane function (UPF) load included in the analysis information, at least one entity associated with the UPF for an uplink classification function and a protocol data unit (PDU) session anchor.
A method, performed by an entity associated with a Network Data Analytics Function (NWDAF) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- receiving first data associated with a network function (NF) load and a user equipment (UE);
- and
- transmitting, to an entity associated with a session management function (SMF), second data including a duration time, a periodic time, a start time, and a traffic volume of a UE communication, and analytics for the NF load, and
- wherein the second data is processed, by the entity associated with the SMF, for selecting an entity associated with a user plane function (UPF) for an uplink classification function and a protocol data unit (PDU) session anchor.
An entity associated with a session management function (SMF) in a wireless communication system, the entity comprising:
- a transceiver;
- and
- at least one processor connected with the transceiver and configured to:
- receive, from an entity associated with a network data analytics function (NWDAF), analysis information based on analytics for user plane function (UPF) load and analytics for a user equipment (UE), and
- select, based on processing a duration time, a periodic time, a start time, and a traffic volume of a user equipment (UE) communication, and analytics for UPF load included in the analysis information, at least one entity associated with the UPF for an uplink classification function and a protocol data unit (PDU) session anchor.
An entity associated with a Network Data Analytics Function (NWDAF) in a wireless communication system, the entity comprising:
- a transceiver;
- and
- at least one processor connected with the transceiver and configured to:
- receive first data associated with a network function (NF) load and a user equipment (UE), and
- transmit, to an entity associated with session management function (SMF), second data including a duration time, a periodic time, a start time, and a traffic volume of a UE communication, and analytics for the NF load, and
- wherein the second data is processed, by the entity associated with the SMF, for selecting an entity associated with a user plane function (UPF) for an uplink classification function and a protocol data unit (PDU) session anchor.
