Abstract
Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for provisioning an updated user equipment (UE) route selection policy URSP to a UE in an evolved packet system (EPS). In order to minimize the impact to a mobility management entity (MME), some embodiments use a protocol configuration option (PCO) or extended PCO (ePCO) to carry the URSP between a packet data network (PDN) gateway-control (PGW-C) and the UE. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
Claims24
A method to be performed by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
- transmitting, to a network entity of a cellular network, an indication of a UE policy container during an initial attach procedure;
- and
- identifying, based on the transmission of the indication of the UE policy container, updated policy subscription information.
A method to be performed by a packet data network (PDN) gateway control (PGW-C) entity of a cellular network, wherein the method comprises:
- identifying, from a user equipment (UE) during an initial attach procedure, an indication of a UE policy container;
- identifying, based on the UE policy container, updated policy subscription information;
- and
- transmitting, to the UE, an indication of the updated policy subscription information.
A method to be performed by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
- identifying, from a network entity, a received indication of updated UE policy subscription information;
- enacting the updated UE policy subscription information;
- and
- transmitting, to the network entity, an indication of acknowledgement of the updated UE policy subscription information.
A method to be performed by a packet data network (PDN) gateway control (PGW-C) entity of a cellular network, wherein the method comprises:
- identifying, from a network entity, a received indication of updated user equipment (UE) policy subscription information;
- transmitting, to the UE, an indication of the updated UE policy subscription information;
- identifying, in a message received from the UE, an acknowledgement of the updated UE policy subscription information;
- and
- transmitting, to the network entity, an indication of the acknowledgement.
