Abstract
In some implementations, a customer premises equipment (CPE) may determine a category associated with a device in a local area network (LAN), wherein the category is based on a quality of service (QOS) requirement associated with the device. The CPE may establish a LAN link with the device based on the category. The CPE may receive a user equipment route selection policy (URSP) rule for a network slice associated with the category. The CPE may establish a wireless wide area network (WWAN) link to a network node based on the URSP rule, wherein the WWAN link is based on the network slice and a QoS flow identifier associated with the category.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- determining, by a customer premises equipment (CPE), a category associated with a device in a local area network (LAN), wherein the category is based on a quality of service (QOS) requirement associated with the device;
- establishing, by the CPE, a LAN link with the device based on the category;
- receiving, by the CPE, a user equipment route selection policy (URSP) rule for a network slice associated with the category;
- and
- establishing, by the CPE, a wireless wide area network (WWAN) link to a network node based on the URSP rule, wherein the WWAN link is based on the network slice and a QoS flow identifier associated with the category.
A first device, comprising:
- one or more processors configured to:
- determine a category associated with a second device in a local area network (LAN), wherein the category is based on a quality of service (QOS) requirement associated with the second device;
- establish a LAN link with the second device based on the category;
- receive a user equipment route selection policy (URSP) rule for a network slice associated with the category;
- and
- establish a wireless wide area network (WWAN) link to a network node based on the URSP rule, wherein the WWAN link is based on the network slice and a QoS flow identifier associated with the category.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions, the set of instructions comprising:
- one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a first device, cause the first device to:
- determine a category associated with a second device in a local area network (LAN), wherein the category is based on a quality of service (QOS) requirement associated with the second device;
- establish a LAN link with the second device based on the category;
- receive a user equipment route selection policy (URSP) rule for a network slice associated with the category;
- and
- establish a wireless wide area network (WWAN) link to a network node based on the URSP rule, wherein the WWAN link is based on the network slice and a QoS flow identifier associated with the category.
