Abstract
A system includes a policy control function (PCF) that receives an indication from a mobile device in a wireless cellular network that indicates a secure connection between the mobile device and an endpoint in the wireless cellular network. The secure connection is associated with a security policy that includes a first set of parameters and operates at a first level of granularity and a routing policy that includes a second set of parameters and operates at a second level of granularity. The PCF then determines a mapping between the first set of parameters and the second set of parameters that aligns the first level of granularity with the second level of granularity. In an example, the alignment improves the utilization of network resources in the wireless cellular network. The mapping is then transmitted to the mobile device, which enables the mobile device to use the secure connection.
