Abstract
Various aspects of the present disclosure relate to transmitting a request message comprising a first extended protocol configuration options (ePCO) information element (IE). Aspects of the present disclosure relate to receiving a response message comprising a second ePCO IE and determining that an evolved packet system (EPS) supports UE policy sections management based on the second ePCO IE. Aspects of the present disclosure relate to performing a network-requested UE policy management procedure based on the EPS supporting the UE policy sections management.
Claims20
A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:
- at least one memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled with the at least one memory and configured to cause the UE to:
- transmit, to a network node in an evolved packet system (EPS), a request message comprising a first extended protocol configuration options (ePCO) information element (IE);
- receive, from the network node, a response message comprising a second ePCO IE;
- determine that the EPS supports a UE policy sections management based on the second ePCO IE;
- and
- perform a network-requested UE policy management procedure based on the EPS supporting the UE policy sections management.
A method at a User Equipment (UE), the method comprising:
- transmitting, to a network node in an evolved packet system (EPS), a request message comprising a first extended protocol configuration options (ePCO) information element (IE);
- receiving, from the network node, a response message comprising a second ePCO IE;
- determining that the EPS supports UE policy sections management based on the second ePCO IE;
- and
- performing a network-requested UE policy management procedure based on the EPS supporting the UE policy sections management.
A network entity comprising a session management function (SMF), the network entity comprising:
- at least one memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled with the at least one memory and configured to cause the SMF to:
- receive, from a user equipment (UE), a request message comprising a UE state indication message, wherein the UE state indication message comprises a first extended protocol configuration options (ePCO) information element (IE);
- determine that the UE supports UE policy sections management based on the first ePCO IE;
- transmit, to the UE, a response message comprising a second ePCO IE;
- and
- forward the UE state indication message to a session management policy control function (SM-PCF).
A method performed by a network entity, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a User Equipment (UE), a request message comprising a UE state indication message, wherein the UE state indication message comprises a first extended protocol configuration options (ePCO) information element (IE);
- determining that the UE supports UE policy sections management based on the first ePCO IE;
- transmitting, to the UE, a response message comprising a second ePCO IE;
- and
- forwarding the UE state indication message to a session management policy control function (SM-PCF).
