Abstract
Various nodes in a 3GPP network, including a user equipment (UE), can be used to insert metadata in uplink traffic so that the network and/or an (S)Gi-LAN can make traffic steering decisions based on the metadata. For example, the UE can insert metadata into its uplink traffic so that the services in the (S)Gi-LAN can be better leveraged. Network nodes are able to insert metadata that relates directly to the UE and that relates to the operating conditions of the network nodes that the UE is using to send uplink data, so that the services in the (S)Gi-LAN can be better leveraged.
Claims19
A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- receive a first message, wherein the first message comprises a non-access stratum (NAS) message that indicates that the WTRU is to send metadata to a network for a specified traffic flow, wherein the NAS message comprises packet filter information used to identify the specified traffic flow for which the WTRU is to send the metadata.
A method performed by a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), the method comprising:
- receiving a first message, wherein the first message comprises a non-access stratum (NAS) message that indicates that the WTRU is to send metadata to a network for a specified traffic flow, wherein the NAS message comprises packet filter information used to identify the specified traffic flow for which the WTRU is to send the metadata.
A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- receive a first message, wherein the first message comprises a non-access stratum (NAS) message that indicates that the WTRU is to send connection related information to a network, the connection related information comprising information used for evaluating connection quality for a specified traffic flow and radio access technology (RAT) type information, wherein the NAS message comprises packet filter information associated with the specified traffic flow for which the WTRU is to send the information used for evaluating connection quality.
