Method and apparatus for negotiation of user equipment policy delivery
View Patent ↗A method and an apparatus for negotiation of user equipment (UE) policy delivery are provided. A method for negotiation of UE policy delivery of a user equipment includes generating a first indicator being associated with a capability of the UE and reporting, to a network node, the first indicator being associated with the capability of the UE, wherein the capability of the UE describes support for the UE triggering a UE policy configuration, and/or a UE assistant information for a UE policy distribution.
1. A user equipment (UE) for negotiation of UE policy delivery, comprising:
a memory;
a transceiver; and
a processor coupled to the memory and the transceiver,
wherein the processor is configured to:
generate a first capability indicator of the UE, wherein the first capability indicator is associated with UE assistant information for a UE policy distribution, and wherein the UE assistant information for the UE policy distribution comprises one or more UE policy identifiers that are used to indicate one or more sections of a supported UE policy or a stored UE policy in the UE;
control the transceiver to transmit both the first capability indicator and the UE assistant information for the UE policy distribution in a registration request message in a registration procedure to a policy control function (PCF); and
control the transceiver to receive a UE policy through a transparent container in NAS transport.
2. The user equipment of claim 1 , wherein the UE assistant information for the UE policy distribution further comprises an application ID.
3. The user equipment of claim 1 , wherein the UE policy distribution is performed according to the first capability indicator of the UE and the UE assistant information.
4. The user equipment of claim 2 , wherein the PCF is configured to deliver, to the transceiver, a policy corresponding to the application ID.
5. The user equipment of claim 4 , wherein the application ID is associated with vehicle-to-everything (V2X), and the PCF is configured to deliver, to the transceiver, the policy corresponding to a V2X service.
6. A method for negotiation of user equipment (UE) policy delivery of a user equipment, comprising:
generating a first capability indicator of the UE, wherein the first capability indicator is associated with UE assistant information for a UE policy distribution, and wherein the UE assistant information for the UE policy distribution comprises a one or more UE policy identifiers that are used to indicate one or more sections of a supported UE policy or a stored UE policy in the UE;
transmitting both the first capability indicator and the UE assistant information for the UE policy distribution in a registration request message in a registration procedure to a policy control function (PCF); and
receiving a UE policy through a transparent container in NAS transport.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the UE assistant information for the UE policy distribution further comprises an application ID.
8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the UE policy distribution is performed according to the first capability indicator of the UE and the UE assistant information.
9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the method comprises delivering, to the user equipment, a policy corresponding to the application ID.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the application ID is associated with vehicle-to-everything (V2X), and the method comprises delivering, to the user equipment, the policy corresponding to a V2X service.
11. A policy control function (PCF) for negotiation of user equipment (UE) policy delivery, comprising:
a memory;
a transceiver; and
a processor coupled to the memory and the transceiver,
wherein the processor is configured to:
control the transceiver to receive a first capability indicator of a UE and UE assistant information for a UE policy distribution in a registration request message in a registration procedure of the UE, wherein the first capability indicator is associated with the UE assistant information for the UE policy distribution, and wherein the UE assistant information for the UE policy distribution comprises one or more UE policy identifiers that are used to indicate one or more sections of a supported UE policy or a stored UE policy in the UE; and
control the transceiver to transmit a UE policy through a transparent container in NAS transport.
12. The PCF of claim 11 , wherein the UE assistant information for the UE policy distribution further comprises an application ID.
13. The user equipment of claim 1 , wherein the first capability indicator of the UE is related to the UE triggering a UE policy configuration.
14. The method of claim 6 , wherein the first capability indicator of the UE is related to the UE triggering a UE policy configuration.
15. The PCF of claim 11 , wherein the first capability indicator of the UE is related to the UE triggering a UE policy configuration.
