TECHNIQUES FOR NON-INTEGRATED TRAFFIC AGGREGATION, STEERING, AND SWITCHING FOR A PROTOCOL DATA UNIT SESSION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17885191 titled 'TECHNIQUES FOR NON-INTEGRATED TRAFFIC AGGREGATION, STEERING, AND SWITCHING FOR A PROTOCOL DATA UNIT SESSION

Simplified Explanation

- A network node receives policy and charging control rules for a non-integrated aggregation protocol data unit session requested by a user equipment. - The network node communicates access traffic steering, switching, and splitting rules to the user equipment for controlling traffic in the uplink direction. - The network node communicates N4 interface rules to a user plane function for controlling traffic in the downlink direction. - The rules are derived from the policy and charging control rules.

Potential Applications

- Enhanced traffic control in wireless communication networks. - Improved quality of service for users accessing data services.

Problems Solved

- Efficient management of network traffic. - Seamless integration of policy and charging control rules.

Benefits

- Enhanced user experience with optimized traffic steering. - Increased network efficiency with streamlined traffic control mechanisms.


Original Abstract Submitted

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a network node (e.g., a session management function (SMF)) may receive policy and charging control (PCC) rules that include control information associated with a non-integrated aggregation (NIA) protocol data unit (PDU) session requested by a user equipment (UE). The SMF may communicate, to the UE, one or more access traffic steering, switching, and splitting (ATSSS) rules derived from the PCC rules, wherein the one or more ATSSS rules are for controlling traffic steering, switching, and splitting associated with the NIA PDU session in an uplink direction. The network node may communicate, to a user plane function (UPF), N4 interface rules derived from the PCC rules, wherein the N4 interface rules are for controlling traffic steering, switching, and splitting associated with the NIA PDU session in a downlink direction. Numerous other aspects are described.
