Abstract
Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for wireless communications. A network function device, such as a policy control function device, may send a policy and charging control rule that is based on one or more Ethernet medium access control (MAC) addresses. For example, the policy control function device may send the policy and charging control rule to a session management function device to provide a packet data unit (PDU) session for a wireless device.
Claims44
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a policy control function device, at least one Ethernet medium access control (MAC) address, for a packet data unit (PDU) session, of a wireless device;
- and
- sending, by the policy control function device, at least one policy and charging control (PCC) rule, for the PDU session, that is based on the at least one Ethernet MAC address for the wireless device.
A method comprising:
- sending, by a session management function device to a policy control function device, at least one Ethernet medium access control (MAC) address, for a packet data unit (PDU) session, of a wireless device;
- and
- receiving, by the session management function device, at least one policy and charging control (PCC) rule, for the PDU session, that is based on the at least one Ethernet MAC address for the wireless device.
A policy control function device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, configure the policy control function device to:
- receive at least one Ethernet medium access control (MAC) address, for a packet data unit (PDU) session, of a wireless device;
- and
- send at least one policy and charging control (PCC) rule, for the PDU session, that is based on the at least one Ethernet MAC address for the wireless device.
A session management function device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, configure the session management function device to:
- send, to a policy control function device, at least one Ethernet medium access control (MAC) address, for a packet data unit (PDU) session, of a wireless device;
- and
- receive at least one policy and charging control (PCC) rule, for the PDU session, that is based on the at least one Ethernet MAC address for the wireless device.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, configure a policy control function device to:
- receive at least one Ethernet medium access control (MAC) address, for a packet data unit (PDU) session, of a wireless device;
- and
- send at least one policy and charging control (PCC) rule, for the PDU session, that is based on the at least one Ethernet MAC address for the wireless device.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, configure a session management function device to:
- send, to a policy control function device, at least one Ethernet medium access control (MAC) address, for a packet data unit (PDU) session, of a wireless device;
- and
- receive at least one policy and charging control (PCC) rule, for the PDU session, that is based on the at least one Ethernet MAC address for the wireless device.
A system comprising:
- a policy control function device;
- and
- a session management function device configured to:
- send, to the policy control function device, at least one Ethernet medium access control (MAC) address, for a packet data unit (PDU) session, of a wireless device, wherein the policy control function device is configured to:
- send, to the session management function device, at least one policy and charging control (PCC) rule, for the PDU session, that is based on the at least one Ethernet MAC address for the wireless device.
