Abstract
Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for policy control for broadcast sessions. One method may include receiving, by a multicast/broadcast session management function, at least one broadcast session creation request comprising at least one broadcast session indication associated with at least one policy control function. The multicast/broadcast session management function may receive at least one policy update from the at least one policy control function, and transmit at least one resource allocation request associated with at least one broadcast session transmission to at least one application management function.
Claims16
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a multicast/broadcast session management function, at least one multicast/broadcast session creation request comprising at least one indication of policy authorization for a multicast/broadcast session, wherein the at least one indication of policy authorization comprises at least one indication that indicates whether a network exposure function or a multicast/broadcast service function will provide a policy authorization for the multicast/broadcast session;
- and
- requesting, by the multicast/broadcast session management function, in response to the at least one indication of policy authorization for the multicast/broadcast session, creation of a policy control session for the multicast/broadcast session from at least one policy control function.
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a network exposure function or a multicast/broadcast service function, at least one request to create a multicast/broadcast session;
- determining, by the network exposure function or the multicast/broadcast service function, whether to create a policy authorization session for the multicast/broadcast session;
- requesting, by the network exposure function or the multicast/broadcast service function, from at least one multicast/broadcast session management function, a creation of the multicast/broadcast session,
- wherein, in response to determining to create the policy authorization session, the request for creation of the multicast/broadcast session comprises at least one indication of policy authorization, wherein the at least one indication of policy authorization comprises at least one indication that indicates whether the network exposure function or the multicast/broadcast service function will provide a policy authorization for the multicast/broadcast session;
- and
- requesting, by the network exposure function or the multicast/broadcast service function, creation of the policy authorization session for the multicast/broadcast session from at least one policy control function.

An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
- receive at least one multicast/broadcast session creation request comprising at least one indication of policy authorization for a multicast/broadcast session, wherein the at least one indication of policy authorization comprises at least one indication that indicates whether a network exposure function or a multicast/broadcast service function will provide a policy authorization for the multicast/broadcast session;
- and
- request, in response to the at least one indication of policy authorization for the multicast/broadcast session, the creation of a policy control session for the multicast/broadcast session from at least one policy control function.
3 more elements
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
- receive at least one request to create a multicast/broadcast session;
- determine whether to create a policy authorization session for the multicast/broadcast session;
- request from at least one multicast/broadcast session management function, a creation of the multicast/broadcast session,
- wherein, in response to determining to create the policy authorization session, the request for creation of the multicast/broadcast session comprises at least one indication of policy authorization, wherein the at least one indication of policy authorization comprises at least one indication that indicates whether a network exposure function or a multicast/broadcast service function will provide a policy authorization for the multicast/broadcast session;
- and
- request creation of the policy authorization session for the multicast/broadcast session from at least one policy control function.
