Abstract
A network handover processing method includes receiving traffic stream feature information from an application side, the traffic stream feature information indicating features of service data packets transmitted between the application side and user equipment, generating, based on the traffic stream feature information, a handover policy, the handover policy being a policy to be followed during a handover of an access network entity connected to the user equipment, and transmitting the handover policy to a session management functional entity, so that the session management functional entity configures the handover policy for another network entity.
Claims20
A network handover processing method, performed by a policy control device, the network handover processing method comprising:
- receiving, by a policy control function (PCF) of the policy control device, traffic stream feature information from an application side that is one of an application function (AF) and an application server (AS), the traffic stream feature information indicating features of service data packets transmitted between the application side and user equipment;
- generating, based on the traffic stream feature information and information from at least one other network element, a handover policy, the handover policy being a policy to be followed during a handover of an access network entity connected to the user equipment;
- and
- transmitting the handover policy to a session management functional entity, so that the session management functional entity configures the handover policy for another network entity.
A network handover processing apparatus, comprising:
- at least one memory configured to store program code;
- and
- at least one processor configured to read the program code and operate as instructed by the program code, the program code comprising:
- first receiving code configured to cause at least one of the at least one processor to receive, by a policy control function (PCF), traffic stream feature information from an application side that is one of an application function (AF) and an application server (AS), the traffic stream feature information indicating features of service data packets transmitted between the application side and user equipment;
- generating code configured to cause at least one of the at least one processor to generate, based on the traffic stream feature information and information from at least one other network element, a handover policy, the handover policy being a policy to be followed during a handover of an access network entity connected to the user equipment;
- and
- transmitting code configured to cause at least one of the at least one processor to transmit the handover policy to a session management functional entity, so that the session management functional entity configures the handover policy for another network entity.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer code which, when executed by at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to at least:
- receive, by a policy control function (PCF) of the policy control device, traffic stream feature information from an application side that is one of an application function (AF) and an application server (AS), the traffic stream feature information indicating features of service data packets transmitted between the application side and user equipment;
- generate, based on the traffic stream feature information and information from at least one other network element, a handover policy, the handover policy being a policy to be followed during a handover of an access network entity connected to the user equipment;
- and
- transmit the handover policy to a session management functional entity, so that the session management functional entity configures the handover policy for another network entity.
