Abstract
Systems and methods provide solutions for provisioning vehicle-to-everything (V2X) policy and parameters to a user equipment (UE). A UE may generate a registration request to register with a wireless network. The registration request may include a first indication of a V2X policy provisioning request. The UE processes a message from a policy control function (PCF) including either a current V2X policy and corresponding parameters or a second indication that the PCF does not support V2X provisioning.
Claims18
A method for a policy control function (PCF) in a wireless network, the method comprising:
- receiving, from an access and mobility management function (AMF), a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) policy provisioning request from a user equipment (UE);
- in response to the V2X policy provisioning request, determining whether the PCF supports V2X policy provisioning;
- if the PCF supports the V2X policy provisioning, including a current V2X policy in a UE policy container to provide to the UE via the AMF;
- and
- if the PCF does not support the V2X policy provisioning, providing an indication to the UE that the PCF does not support the V2X policy provisioning.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a policy control function (PCF), cause the PCF to:
- receive, from an access and mobility management function (AMF), a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) policy provisioning request from a user equipment (UE);
- in response to the V2X policy provisioning request, determine whether the PCF supports V2X policy provisioning;
- if the PCF supports the V2X policy provisioning, include a current V2X policy in a UE policy container to provide to the UE via the AMF;
- and
- if the PCF does not support the V2X policy provisioning, provide an indication to the UE that the PCF does not support the V2X policy provisioning.
