Abstract
There is provided mechanisms for handling secondary RAT data usage for a UE. A method is performed by a mobility node. The method comprises obtaining, from a network node, an indication of data usage for the UE using the secondary RAT. The method comprises forwarding the indication towards a policy node. The method comprises obtaining a policy decision originating from the policy node. The policy decision is based on the indication of data usage. The method comprises performing an action based on the policy decision.

A method of handling secondary radio access technology (RAT) data usage for a User Equipment (UE), the method being performed by a mobility node, the method comprising:
- obtaining, from a network node, an indication of data usage for the UE using the secondary RAT;
- forwarding the indication towards a policy node;
- obtaining a policy decision originating from the policy node, the policy decision being based on the indication of data usage;
- and
- performing an action based on the policy decision.
A method of handling secondary radio access technology (RAT) data usage for a User Equipment (UE), the method being performed by a policy node, the method comprising:
- obtaining, from a mobility node, an indication of data usage for the UE using the secondary RAT;
- determining a policy decision for the UE based on the indication of data usage;
- and
- providing the policy decision towards the mobility node.
A mobility node configured to handle secondary radio access technology (RAT) data usage for a User Equipment (UE), the mobility node comprising processing circuitry configured to control the mobility node to:
- obtain, from a network node, an indication of data usage for the UE using the secondary RAT;
- forward the indication towards a policy node;
- obtain a policy decision originating from the policy node, the policy decision being based on the indication of data usage;
- and
- perform an action based on the policy decision.
A policy node configured to handle secondary radio access technology (RAT) data usage for a User Equipment (UE), the policy node comprising processing circuitry configured to control the policy node to:
- obtain, from a mobility node, an indication of data usage for the UE using the secondary RAT;
- determine a policy decision for the UE based on the indication of data usage;
- and
- provide the policy decision towards the mobility node.
