Publication number: 20240137276Abstract: A User Plane Function, UPF (35), sends a load report to a Session Management Function, SMF (45). Responsive to receiving the load report from the UPF (35), the SMF (45) installs a load reduction policy rule in the UPF (35). The load reduction policy rule comprises a criterion for identifying one or more users subject to the load reduction policy rule. The UPF (35) selectively applies the load reduction policy rule to user plane traffic of the one or more users based on the criterion.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 27, 2021Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: Miguel Angel Puente Pestaña, Miguel Angel Muñoz De La Torre Alonso, Rodrigo Alvarez Dominguez, Göran Rune

Publication number: 20240106934Abstract: A communication network (10) tracking usage information for each of two or more components of traffic associated with the same application identifier provides a basis for differentiating charging with respect to the two or more components. For example, traffic carried by a communication network (10) for a social media application running on a User Equipment (UE) (12) may be identified by a corresponding application identifier. However, the so-identified traffic may include multiple components, such as traffic providing the social-media service(s) and traffic constituting advertising or other ancillary or supplementary content. Tracking and reporting the network usage associated with respective components, i.e., at a granularity finer than that provided by the overall application or traffic flow identifier, provides an advantageous basis for differentiated charging as between the respective components.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 19, 2021Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Miguel Angel Puente Pestaña, Miguel Angel Muñoz De La Torre Alonso, Rodrigo Alvarez Dominguez
