Systems and methods for enabling efficient establishment of policy control associations

A system comprising:

• a processor of a policy control function (PCF) device, configured to:
• receive a first request to establish an access and mobility (AM) policy control association in relation to an establishment of a data session requested by a user associated with a user equipment (UE) device;
• generate a query to a network device via a network interface, for AM policy control data and at least one of UE policy control data or SM policy control data;
• receive the AM policy control data and the at least one of the UE policy control data or the SM policy control data from the network device, wherein the SM policy data includes multiple SM policy rules;
• identify a subset of the multiple SM policy rules for enforcement;
• render SM policy decisions for each of the SM policy rules of the subset;
• send, to the network device, a second request for a notification of a change to any of the AM policy control data, the UE policy control data, or the SM policy control data;
• and
• create the AM policy control association based on the received AM policy control data.

A non-transitory, computer-readable storage media storing instructions executable by one or more processors of a policy control function (PCF) device, which when executed cause the PCF device to:

• receive a first request to establish an access and mobility (AM) policy control association in relation to an establishment of a data session requested by a user associated with a user equipment (UE) device,
• generate a query to a network device via a network interface, for AM policy control data and at least one of UE policy control data or SM policy control data;
• receive the AM policy control data and the at least one of the UE policy control data or the SM policy control data from the network device, wherein the SM policy data includes multiple SM policy rules;
• identify a subset of the multiple SM policy rules for enforcement;
• render SM policy decisions for each of the SM policy rules of the subset;
• create the AM policy control association based on the received AM policy control data;
• and
• send, to the network device, a second request for a notification of a change to any of the AM policy control data, the UE policy control data, or the SM policy control data.
