Differentiated services code point (dscp) as ursp traffic descriptor

A device configured for enabling granular control of application flows with Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) identifier with User Equipment (UE) Route Selection Policy (URSP) traffic classification, the device comprising a radio interface and processing circuitry configured to:

• receive a URSP rule that comprise DSCP values as URSP traffic descriptors;
• receive an indication of a new application flow associated with an application, wherein the indication of a new application flow comprises a DSCP value;
• determine a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session based on the URSP rule that comprises the DSCP value comprised in the indication of a new application flow;
• and
• transmit data for the new application flow via the PDU session that is determined based on the URSP rule that comprises the DSCP value and a corresponding URSP traffic descriptor.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon, that when implemented by a processor perform operations for enabling granular control of application flows with Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) identifiers with User Equipment (UE) Route Selection Policy (URSP) traffic classification, the operations comprising:

• receiving a URSP rule that comprise DSCP values as URSP traffic descriptors;
• receiving an indication of a new application flow associated with an application, wherein the indication of a new application flow comprises a DSCP value;
• determining a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session based on the URSP rule that comprises the DSCP value comprised in the indication of a new application flow;
• and
• transmitting data for the new application flow via the PDU session that is determined based on the URSP rule that comprises the DSCP value and a corresponding URSP traffic descriptor.
