Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, computer program products, and apparatuses are provided for support of Low Latency, Low Loss and Scalable Throughput (LS4) for non-Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) access networks. In a multi-access (MA) protocol data unit (PDU) session, traffic is redistributed by a user equipment (UE) between access networks based on Access Traffic Steering, Switching, Splitting (ATSSS) rules and/or Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN). A user plane function (UPF) may update ECN information in PDUs of uplink traffic based on congestion information for LAS provided by an access network. A UPF redistributes traffic between access networks based on congestion information received via one or more access networks, and the ECN information transmitted in the PDUs may be updated accordingly.
