Abstract
A system described herein may receive a first request to establish, modify, or remove a plurality of communication sessions between a User Equipment ('UE') and a network. The system may output, to a policy element of the network (e.g., a Policy Control Function (“PCF”) or a Policy Charging and Rules Function (“PCRF”)), a second request for policies associated with the UE and the plurality of communication sessions, where the second request includes a plurality of communication session identifiers that are each associated with a particular one of the plurality of communication sessions. The system may receive and enforce the requested policy information when establishing, modifying, or removing the requested plurality of communication sessions based on the received particular policy information. The system may communicate with the policy element via an enhanced interface, such as an enhanced N7 interface or an enhanced Npcf interface.
