Efficient policy enforcement for downlink traffic using network access tokens—control-plane approach
Patent number: 11290382Abstract: A gateway device detects a trigger associated with a device and, in response, identifies an application service associated with the device, obtains a traffic network policy associated with the application service, and obtains a network access token based on the traffic network policy. The network access token facilitates validating and/or mapping a downlink data packet obtained at the gateway device in user-plane traffic that is destined for the device. The network access token is sent to an entity in control-plane signaling. Subsequently, the gateway device obtains a downlink data packet including the network access token. The gateway device verifies the network access token and/or maps the downlink data packet to the device using data obtained from the network access token. The network access token may be removed from the downlink data packet before the downlink data packet is sent to the device according to the mapping.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2019Date of Patent: March 29, 2022Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Soo Bum Lee, Gavin Bernard Horn, John Nasielski, Stefano Faccin -
